Percy Boon lives with his mother in a shared rented house with an assortment of characters in central London. Although well intentioned, Percy becomes mixed up with gangsters and a murder.
I was a voracious reader until my only child passed away. Reading no longer occupies my senses enough to keep my mind from drifting to sad, sad places. So I watch old films. My gratitude to those who bring them to us is immeasurable. Losing your only child is life changing to an aging disabled person. And very, very lonely.
Thank you for your comment. I am disabled and now old. I have two young sons. One is in difficulty but I still hope the best for him. I appreciate your comment which makes me realize how fortunate I am, and how I must not give up on my love for my children, and continue being devoted to them as long as I live. Whatever the outcome of our family, to love them to the end is our identity.
How lovely that you find some distraction from this tragedy. I am so very sorry for everything you have been through. Life can be so unimaginably cruel, but sometimes, small things like watching the older classics can take us into another time/realm & provide some comfort. God bless ❤
Deeply sorry for your loss. There are groups that help with grief after such a loss. That is what you need to get through this-you shouldn't try it all be yourself. Best wishes.
I find old movies lovely. I like the simplistic story and acting and music and the sets. They don’t make them like this any more. It takes time to enjoy being an individual again. It took me 15 years after my husband died. But slowly I became one instead of half a person. Completely independent of needs. It is worth the because few people really get to know whom they really are. It takes complete independence and time and you live a full ire with no regrets. Get yourself a wish list and start ticking them off before you too are out of time. That’s all life is, enjoy every thing the wind blows in your direction.
Wendy sorry for your loss and I pray watching theses old classic movies take you back to a period in your life that makes you happy. These movies take me back to a time when life wasn't difficult and I stay in that mental space and let all my personal worries drift away temporarily. Live in every joyful moment you get. God bless💐
Same here. I used to read every day but things have happened that have traumatized me. I love these old movies. They take me to a place of calm and inner peace. I love the architecture, the clothing, the cars, the deportment and manners of that era. It was all so civilized. Today's world is so rude and crude. I'm glad I lived when I did. Tomorrow's world holds nothing attractive for me. It's all about use and abuse, and the intentional destruction of everything worth having in one's life. These movies are the last breaths of fresh air and I'm ever so grateful for them. 😊
@@BrembeliaI agree with everything you have said..they were much better times..a era that will never be replicated again . It’ take a films like thses to lose yourself in the cold,nasty way people live now aday ,it’s a dog eat dog world now ..I’m glad ire up in the 60/70s much nicer times…although this was earlier ,after the 70s it fell apart.

Richard Attenborough RIP, 'Pinky' in Brighton Rock, my favorite, what a great actor, I used to see him be driven in his Roller, number plate RA every day past my flat in London many moons ago
As a voracious fan of anything written/set in old London I found the book by Norman Collins titled "London Belongs to Me" years ago in a thrift store. Can you imagine my delight to stumble upon this movie !
Enjoyed seeing the wonderful Sydney Tafler (albeit uncredited) as the nightclub desk clerk. If only he'd been the lead in more movies than he actually was. Also good to see Susan Shaw, who was in several movies with him.
Thank you for posting this great old classic drama , for all of us are great fans of old B&W classics and for free it’s nice to no not all people are out for the dallor bill , just kindness and sharing something you love with others you no will be so pleased with the old classics also . God Bless you and your family.🙏❤️🇨🇦
It's amazing to see the now late Sir Richard Attenborough in a role - and the lead role too - when he was still in his 20's. And Alastair Sim to boot. I just happened upon this and saw it was well rated and reviewed so I gave it a try.
Does Alastair Sim ever fail to deliver monumental performances? Unforgettable moments from this classic. The expression on Joyce Carey's face during the trial is priceless ... this is just one of some many ... I never tire of watching this picture.
@@dennisroyhall121 Hi Dennis. I’m just online so have seen your message. It’s a very thick book and goes into a lot of detail about the characters and some have been missed out and some things changed altogether. The war is brought into it and the main family move to a cottage in the country. I read it every other year. I really recommend it.

The scene showing the arrival of the Alastair Sim character reminds me of the Alec Guinness character arriving at the old lady's house in The Ladykillers.
This was a time when people had roots. They found a home and stayed there and had a life along with the same neighbors for many years. Not like that so much anymore.
In North America we think Hollywood is and was the only choice for entertainment. Well…. There is a whole world out there with as good or better choices. There are so many great British films to watch, enjoy and savour that you will find that the U S copied and stole. Please watch many more of these great flicks
The only part I didn’t understand was why the moonlight club got raided by the police…it’s not like there was prohibition in England, right? What, was dancing illegal in pre-war England, lol? Somebody clue me in please! Great movie though, loved all the different characters, great acting by all, and wonderful script.

Thank You ACM TV . I was buying the book online today and saw that there was a film based on it .Came on here and found it .Now I am really looking forward to the book.The film was full of great characters Uncle Henry ,Mr Squales, Percy Boon. Never seen this film before and thoroughly enjoyed its Dickensian look at London just before the outbreak of World War Two,.
ondon Belongs to Me (also known as Dulcimer Street) is a British film released in 1948, directed by Sidney Gilliat, and starring Richard Attenborough and Alastair Sim. It was based on the novel London Belongs to Me by Norman Collins, which was also the basis for a seven-part series made by Thames Television and shown in 1977.
A "cute" story from A-to-Z with an early, seminal performance by remarkable Richard Attenborough, and a good role for equally wonderful Alastair Sim!! The emerging Socialist tenant "taking to the streets" was a nice storyline element, and as punctuated by a pivotal cameo appearance by fabulous Hugh Griffith!!
We have every channel possible, every media possible. We're subscribed to every network possible. But in 2021 I still watch these old b/w films. Alistair Sim just makes a film. I don't think I've seen a bad film with him in it..
Thanks very much for making this available. Richard Attenbourough looks pretty young. Supposed to be 1938 and unbelievably the Nazis were in Europe when this was filmed. Skinniest turkey I ever saw..
Knew it was Attenborough by the voice. Don't recall seeing him this young! I love British films from this era. Older films tell a good story without all the gimmicks it takes to get folks in theater seats today. I just want a good story, well told.

Sometimes you scroll & scroll, and won't find a good British black & white - then this: what a delightful find. Heartwarming to the core!!
If you haven't already, try 'The Upturned Glass' with James Mason. Or the Uninvited with Ray Millard 1944.
And films like " Ladies who do" and
" Who killed the cat"
Good thing I didn’t trust Rotten Tomatoes.
This movie is great, with such a talented cast.
Thank you 👍

How can you not LOVE the old flicks. Great storylines and actors/actresses not relying on special effects or overpowering music. Pure talent.
Your so right
I think we all love them, that is why we are watching them. My husband just laughs at me for watching B&W movies.
Not true the driving sequences used special effects. And the music is quite powerful
so right
I am ADDICTED to late '30s- early '60s movies before everything got SATANIZED!
It bewilders me how 88 cranky contrarians can claim to dislike such a good movie~ especially one with Alistair Sim.
Why would you amplify this, rather than your pleasure?

Fabulous film, and I recognise the tea lady from Brief Encounter as Mrs Vizzard!
A heart warming story of faith in our friends, and of redemption. And yes...Alistair Sims is mesmerizing to watch...!!
HI
Totally hilarious and dramatic at the same time! Mr. Squales's long languid plastered down curl said it all!
That man Alastair is Sim(ply) genius!
@@charliewest1221 : Absolutely!
Its the ads every 3 minutes
The land lady was in 'Brief encounter' as the railway cafe Propietor
And the father character (Fred Josser?) was 'Mr Memory' in Hitchcock's The 39 Steps.
I took a peep at this film, and stayed.
Notwithstanding that, any opportunity to see the great Alastair Sim at his very best is most welcome.
You bet!
It’s amazing watching these films on you tube 70 years later
Tremendous - thankyou! This has been a perfect Sunday afternoon film, an absolute treasure to watch.x
If you brought this film out now on the big screen It would sky rocket. Brilliant.👍❤🙏
The scene showing the arrival of the Alastair Sim character reminds me of the Alec Guinness character arriving at the old lady's house in The Ladykillers.
I am falling in love with this movie
Why was Russia not invited? Oh, wasn't she? made my day. Thanks so much for uploading this great film!

Great film, excellent cast. Seek out the book, it’s a joy. It’s well over 700 pages, it can’t all fit in a film.

Going to start searching for the book.
Wonderful book.
Good old London as it used to be!
This was a time when people had roots. They found a home and stayed there and had a life along with the same neighbors for many years.
Not like that so much anymore.

the good old days great movie
I would like that "mascot"(hood ornament) for my Riley.....albeit a bit ostentatious. Good movie with a cast of characters
I laughed out loud when Doris unwrapped that Christmas present!
Great acting - especially by Richard Attenborough
@Rosida Andriyana yes they were 3 brothers, Richard being the eldest, all war heroes.
Jolly damn good!
in the opening cast list you can see how filthy London was then, but the films were a lot cleaner
Why is this uploaded in 240p? Almost unwatchable
Wonderful entertainment from a better world and time
Loved it!
Just Great!!👏
Love these old english movies
"No ... quite ... unconnected" Sublime comic acting.
Brilliant from start to finish!!
Thank you for sharing a simply wonderful moving movie set in England with great acting.
Thanks very much for making this available. Richard Attenbourough looks pretty young. Supposed to be 1938 and unbelievably the Nazis were in Europe when this was filmed. Skinniest turkey I ever saw..
I think this was made in 1947.
What a pity for Percy that he wasn't another policeman otherwise the young copper wouldn't have seen or heard a thing!
LONDON IS THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD ITS WHERE I WAS BORN.IM PROUD TO BE A LONDONER wouldn't want to be anyone else.
Knew it was Attenborough by the voice. Don't recall seeing him this young!
I love British films from this era. Older films tell a good story without all the gimmicks it takes to get folks in theater seats today. I just want a good story, well told.
What a lovely, poignant little movie. Thank you for uploading it.
My love goes out to you along with the many other who have replied to your comment. May God bless and keep you dear❤
Only the Brits can creat such terrific comedy.
Middle age women are good catch as it demonstrate by Alistair Sim in this Movie.
Mr. Josser is played by the same man who played "Mr. Memory" 13 years earlier in "The 39 Steps", Wylie Watson.
Ruth Presti...one of Hitchcock’s great British films.
Along with his best The Lady Vanishes (a masterpiece) and the much underrated Jamaica Inn.
you should be miss memory,knowing that.
I knew I'd seen him somewhere!
The book has a lot more to it though. Really enjoyable
That escalated quickly.
This is "Dulcimer Street", 1948.
Delightful .. thank u
Love these movies
Oh Henry the Best Character.
Reminds me of myself in the last three years.
Get rid of the Government in his pushbike.
