I was able to escape into a world long past. The acting and the music were excellent. I hope to find more films such as this.

    This film explains much of the fusty atmosphere of my old school, most of the masters were pompous old gits who just pushed us through the curriculum like we were in a sausage making machine. My favourite master was Peter Matthews, our Latin master, who dealt adeptly with a difficult subject, and brought it to life. He was also an excellent form master, with great empathy for his kids. Helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Masters with these qualities are rare.

      Teachers the world over with these qualities are rare, not just those in the British upper class school system. Those are the ones one never forgets, who make their subject come alive and often change the course of a student's life.

      I remember the "sausage machine" teaching at the three grammar schools I attended (through a series of house-moves) in the mid-'60s. This was at sixth-form level, with teachers dictating material from their notes rather than involving the classes in discussion and debate.I got more out of working alone in a public library.

      I had an English master in Australia who came from Britain.He had been teaching in an English public school and could no longer stand the atmosphere of that system.He was the high point in my education as it was he who made his subject interesting and compelling.After 60 years I still owe John Street my admiration for doing what others could only aspire too.

      David Farrar didn't get many good parts (as happened to so many film-actors, like Robert Ryan) but actors can't be choosy.They should have tried harder to make Perrin less of a cartoon figure, and Goring's "old man" make-up just didn't convince.

    I've been watching this great little film a lot lately, courtesy of the British channel Talking Pictures TV. Despite the age of the picture (and, by the way, the novel was written in 1911), the story deals with some profound and somewhat modern themes. You can't help but feel sorry for Perrin though - he's Mr Chips without the luck.

About two months ago I watched "Take My Life" (1947) accidentally, and it has since become one of my all-time 10 favorite movies, and I've been watching it, at bedtime, once or twice a week. This one, too, is another excellent British-made movie! Some of the very, very best B&W movies ever were made in England from the '30s through the '60s.... However, although we've had Turner Classic Movies (TCM) continuously on our Cable subscription since 1991...my, goodness, there are far, far more (many of high-quality, professionally uploaded) British, American...classic gems (esp. my favorite Sherlock Holmes, and FILM NOIR genre) on RUclips, thanks to these most diligent, generous contributors, e.g., MansaiStuff.

And by neglecting all outside his profession and credo, which turns into humor. Also, the actor is outstanding - in other films as well. As about Dostoevsky's "Crime and punishment", it is about more of the punishment, and about getting aware why even what seems the most approvable taking off of a live is in fact not to do. Also, that a crime usually leads to another

      Is the term "old woman" supposed to be an insult or a joke?

    Whenever the 'new' upsets the 'old', sparks fly. I love old traditions, but you have to adapt and be flexible, or break like Perrin. TY for a good movie.

    Just a bit into this very fine film BUT I must say.... as well as looking to be very enjoyable.... it has all the earmarks of being the inspiration for director Lindsay Anderson's monumental achievement ".....IF" starring Malcolm McDowell, at his finest, but even more so an inspiration for the terrific BBC series "To Serve Them All My Days". Check them both out.
    PS - After watching... this is a wonderful film. Thanks for posting.

    Read the book. They made a fine movie out of it but they didn't really capture what the book was about. If the style of writing gets in your way just grit your teeth and bear it, you will be rewarded with moments of insight and beauty along the way to a really worthwhile end.

      Not many movies adhere to the true subject of books. Books are written by authors and movies are brought to life by producers. Stark difference between the two. Books are also the creation of man and his ability to tell a story if not truths while movies are made by man that capture the whims of fantasies and imagination. Good movie as movies go. I admire an old British movie.

    A good movie. The name Perrin reminded me of peregrine wax and Traill reminded me of an outdoors lover and stout person -- the one malleable the other not. Traill was also perfect for the James Bond role but too early. The last thing seen of Perrin was his teeth, almost school boy teeth, or teeth of Piggy in Lord of the Flies. I think Richard Attenborough, though maybe too young at the time, could have played Perrin too.

    The actor who played Perrin actually joined the British army in WW2 and the the actor who played Trail sat on the sidelines in the war.

    One-of my other favourite films of the forties is The bw film classic " The Picture Of Dorian Grey" .Oscar Wilds dark gothic tale .Marias Goring looks very slightly like Dirk Bogard in this film Mr perring and mr trail .

    My old prep school had a teacher just like mr Perrin at the time I couldn’t stand him. Now looking back on it I pity him.

    Loved the great wing mounted camera shot as the Lancaster streams in, tail and canons blazing pursued by both messersmits. It makes for an incredible end. Perrin turning out to be the spy and double agent. Wow! Just Wow. Can't say much so as not to be a 'Spoiler'. So 'mums the word'.
