Cottage to Let is a 1941 spy film starring Leslie Banks, Alastair Sim and John Mills. Set in World War II Scotland, its plot concerns German spies trying to kidnap an inventor.
PLOT
In 1941, 15-year-old Londoner Ronald Mittsby (George Cole) evacuates to a small Scottish village and is placed in the home of inventor John Barrington (Leslie Banks) and his eccentric wife. The nosy Ronald discovers that John is working on a secret weapon. With the arrival of wounded but ominous RAF pilot George Perry (John Mills), quirky boarder Charles Dimble (Alastair Sim) and John's distracted assistant, Ronald is certain that he has uncovered a dastardly spy plot.

George Cole's at age 16 intelligence really shone in this his first film.
The Smile from Alistair Sim, says it all a great actor he was.
Excellent - completely unexpected based on the first ten minutes. Alastair Sim was a national treasure - I don't know if he ever put in a bad performance. I love UK home front films, and Gainsborough Pictures should be better known to cinephiles.
Superb. It kept on building the tension. George Cole was amazing from the moment he appeared at the wheel of the evacuees bus to the hall of mirrors. A little impenetrable at times but great fun over all. John Mills gave a really electric performance, seemingly cool as a cucumber at all times and switching the energy to end up fighting like a cornered rat. Sim as the undercover man was great to watch. Excellent!
SO Sim was the undercover man was he.😃😃😃😃
I became slightly confused by the sheer number of possible enemy agents, but the denouement really was ingenious and a surprise. Very enjoyable.
Nice old movie and respectful too all viewer's of different age's.. We need more movies like this in the day and times we live.. 👍
I can't see this quality of acting by all in the film, anywhere these days
What a great cast! So many great British actors in one film! Loved this movie!
An excellent film with great actors. A very young George Cole was wonderful in this.
George Cole had the lead role pretty much what a career, and to have Alistair as a early mentor to point him in the right direction to st Trinians and the young ladies.
It’s amazing watching this film 80 years later
Definitely an Oldie But Goodie... a highly entertaining spy-mystery thriller that is also peppered with some truly funny bits.
Great film! Alister Sim is always good. This film and Green For Danger, I think are two of his best from the WWII era
I love Alastair Sim what a great actor. He was fantastic in this film.
Really entertaining WW II spy film starring the legendary John Mills, Leslie Banks and Alastair Sim. A clever story with some great performances and a cracking finale.
Superb wartime film drama and a stellar cast of British acting talent.
The BEST.
Continuity Trivia: Marguerite is taking off her riding gloves and in the next few frames has them on again. She appears in a dress when Ronald and Mr. Inventor are outside talking to Evans, and then she's back in her riding habit when Ronald knocks into the suit of armor.
I love this movie, bought a copy, and have watched it countless times. In one very early "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" episode, the boys (David and Ricky) are watching tv and the dialogue, from the scene where Dimble and Marguerite are talking about her painting, is audible from their 'tv'! I thought that was a very sophisticated touch, but Ozzie was a genius. Once one has heard that scene, never forgotten.
Not John Mills best but a very young George Cole kept the entertainment flowing. Thanks for uploading.
George Cole tremendous in this! He sure got a young start. Very enjoyable movie, good actors. Thankyou.
George Cole's early start was down to Alistair Sim who took him under his wing. He was a great judge of talent!
The director Anthony Asquith was the son of the former Prime Minister (1908-1916) Henry Herbert Asquith. He made many films but A Cottage On Dartmoor (1929) is particularly good.
I will seek that out, thanks.
There's a great interview with George Cole where he tells some very poignant tales about his audition & getting the Ronald role for the original Cottage To Let play & touring the UK theatres & Army camps before it became this movie...
Already it is such a good movie. I can't tell who the bad guy is. Reading the Google news today makes me wish that times (Without the war) could be like this again, and I am very happy to have such good movies to watch. Thank you for posting.
Very well done. Hav nevr seen Mills as a villain. Teen age kid was brilliant.
The kid is George Cole, his first film role!
Thank you for uploading this brilliant film. Great cast. Alastair Sim always appears in good films.
Most of Shute novels have a human core. The bad guy is a challenge bro overcome and the hero are the people being human and striving
If I could love any 'actor' as a brother it would be Alastair Sim. He delivers joy in every appearance. Near the end, who knew John Mills could be such a ham!
A vary nasty JM.
That death scene was the hammiest! 33:26
@@jstearns918 Milked it for all it was worth, but I think it was what audiences wanted at the time. 😊
One of my all-time favorites from the British film industry, which ought never have been allowed to descend into obscurity. What a waste.
I have to say, I found that finale very humorous...quite dramatic. Enjoyed the film.
George Cole getting in some early rehearsals for his part of Flash in St. Trinians !
His quick action an rhetoric, showed how talented he was, even then!
excellent movie good plot, lots of twists, good characters and good actors
Hi
I LOOOVED HER GAFFES! The best one was intoducing John Mills as the RFA pilot! LOL!
That generation is sorely missed….we have these great movies to to remind us but it’s nothing more than a reminder of how we have strayed from our path
I suppose we are lucky, to be old enough to appreciate it. Regards ✌💚🙏 🇬🇧
@peacenow42 I don't believe that it's our responsibility to show you how or when to understand the value of life. It's not our responsibility to show how a person can assume that role or empower themselves to be more than what is expected. It's the wrong question, and the question should be what can I do or create that would show the conviction of your sacrifice? Doing what is expected is not worth more than a pat on the back for contributing to your community. To openly say or announce your contributions is not humble or righteous, it's called bragging. I don't know if anyone has explained to you the difference but thank you for stepping up and assuming the responsibility of teaching. I wouldn't call that anything special but I guess that's the difference. We or our generation always took that role as our God given right to protect and defend our children. Yes I would include education as a value that needs to be shown and experienced as a community, when you don't have two parents at home. Anyway the path is and always will be clear to all of us willing to assume or become more than what is expected. We who have God in our lives are used to having only him to give us the strength and courage or wisdom. Those who choose not to be part of God light or mercy will always try to get thier recognition from those people that are not able to understand your motives or intent. I will givebyou the benefit of doubt and just believe you don't understand. FYI good job, now do it without anyone knowing or giving your recognition to feed your pride. It sounds like you might have a course to follow I just hope it's not for your self gratification. Just my opinion since you wanted everyone to know your Victor
@peacenow42 I'm sorry you feel that way. I was merely pointing out an observation. Today for example I observed how many of out younger generation will be forced to join the military through the congress as a draft. I feel that's a step in the right direction . The week minded parents that raised these children have done a disservice to our country....anyway that my man is a rant. Good luck...your going to need it..cheers
Only came here for George Cole, but great film.
I did not recognize Michael Wilding, looked so much like Alan Cummings, in this
Fantastic movie! so well written, funny & exciting. Usually I know how plot will unfold, but this one was full of surprises. Unlike current movies that are so predictable.
That evacuee is a cheeky little sod.
Another great British film good cast
Lovely golden oldie ! Thank you for sharing !
Fantastic, thank you 😊
I think I saw this over 50 years ago as a child, not knowing the actors at that time, but I recognise George Cole this time 😂 who of course was still entertaining us into the 1980s. Alistair Sim was George Coles foster father. Some great actors in this film, I did think John Mills dieing scene was a bit much 🤣 but generally he's a good actor.
✌💚🙏 🇬🇧
Great Film thanks for the opportunity to watch it 😎
A very young George Cole.
Being a model airplane builder & flier, this one was a lot of fun. Thanks smokin hat!
Amazing WWII movie in contemporary time .
Thanks, for sharing this gem of movie.
A great film. Loved the finale.
Great cast and a very good plot. Bit of a spin on who is what? Would fully recommend this entertaining film. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great cast, great film! Sim. Mills, Cole. Doesn't get much better.
Thanks so much - wonderful film - brilliant quality
Terrific! A house full of surprises!
Some of the cast starred in that other superb wartime classic:
Went the Day Well?
murky ending. he got away too easily. good characters and good actors. had no idea george cole, alastair sim's protege, was a child actor, and excellent at that. too much of it unclear vis-a-vis plot, but who cares - a lot of fun, save for the whispering even at full volume, inaudible. the wife, unknown to me, was a marvelous ditz.
I love this movie, and this is the cleanest version I've seen in a long time. Thanks
Great! I'm only 21 minutes in and enjoying the pace and fine acting. Thanks🤗
The professor was the Inn keeper in Jamaica Inn 😮😅
🌬💀🏴☠️
You can tell that Sim smoked when he laughs. He died from lung cancer around the age of 70. Same at end office scene of Scrooge.
Mrs Sim's books on her childhood & life with Alastair is excellent. Compare this to the modern garbage of today & see how this art form has deteriorated. All are excellent, excellent death scene & Alastair with Mrs. Trim!
I wouldn't watch the new films if they give them all to ME FREE! Mite be a handful out of the last decade worth watching...but nothing compares to Real Talent that stands on it's own....You just can't beat Real Actors...Musicians Great Directors & Producers....even when you throw millions at the stinky pots full of dirt!
good old film, good cast very enjoyable 🎥👍
This was filmed at Gainsborough studios
I watched it to the end, but didn't have a clue what was going on for most of the time. 😮😂😂
Sir John Mills is my Favourite actor ❤️
Another Brit beaut with lots of twists and turns. Great stuff.
Great dialogue
Great cast
Great acting
Great old hollywood film
British film, my lad, BRITISH film.
@@danielstanwyck2812 too bloody true
Definitely not a Hollywood production 😕
@@sharynkhan1104 Hollywood scripts, for the most part, are not as intelligent as the English.
Definitely NOT Hollywood!😂
As ever mischivious young George Cole.
Great film!! Thank you!!
Terrific - the wonderful child actor George Cole: later to be remembered as "Arthur" in "The Minder" is in this.
A very underrated child actor. Loved him as an adult actor but he's a delight in his childhood roles.
he is brilliant
George Cole was never really a child actor, this was his first role and he was 15, in the 1943 film The Demi-Paradise he looks 25. Alastair Sim became George's mentor and he lived with Alastair and Naomi Sim for many years as a sort of unofficially adopted son.
Those short pants are pretty long.Can still remember the happy day when I got my mother to agree that I could abandon mine.
See "Where There's a Will" with a grown up George Cole. Delightful characterizations. Kathleen Harris and Leslie Dwyer-- Love Wally Patch in this one, too. The English are so witty!
Thanks verry much,great cast,really enjoyed.
Far better than the murky Amazon option I just paid for.
i'm glad i looked up the cast while watching it or i would never have known i was watching the a very young George Cole from the Minder show as young Ronald
Good Movie. Thanks! I’m glad I watched.
Ace film. Gainsborough films are all boss.
Great story thank you for sharing
🙃☕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Super ...Classic !
What an interesting film...very richly textured, with a lot going on. I don't think I've ever seen so many doors opening and closing in such a short time. And good acting throughout, with Alasdair Sims stealing the show; completely believable as the harmless eccentric buffoon, the head of the German spy ring, and the British infiltrator.
One moment specially caught my attention. In the bazaar scene, the woman MC mangles Churchill's praise of the RAF, thereby demonstrating the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship. That passed the British censors, DURING wartime, no less. Can you imagine the repression if a comparable German or Russian film did the same thing to a speech of Hitler or Stalin? Dictatorships can never allow humor at their expense.
A wholly interesting and educational experience. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Super film, thanks for posting it.
Great sound and perfect image.
That was good! Thank you.
Unappreciated as such "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" are quite sophisticated in their very early years, beginning in 1952. In one scene of O&H the audio from the tv in their living room is playing the cottage scene from this film where the Lady of the House is showing Sim the Cottage and talking about the hole in the wall where her husband almost blew himself up. One had to be familiar with the film to recognize the dialogue from that scene. which seemed to be incidental to the Ozzie, etc., scene, but a wonderful conceit and homage to the film and it's classy audience.
Great little film, thanks for sharing
George Cole was brilliant in this as a young Lad.
I love this movie! Love it!
Enjoyable film,
Enjoyable apart from the bizarre ending....poor john mills looked quite grotesque. He was a good actor - must have had a mad moment
One of my faves
Gainsborough studios and sets is now has become Wicks Cricklewood
This film was at Gainsborough studios
Is it young Arthur Bloody Daley?
Brilliant!
Was enjoying it until near the end when our national flag of the UK was upside down on the wall of the inside of the main house & the bad acting of John Mills when he was shot at the end.
Great movie .. hard to believe the kid was George Cole AKA Arthur Daley from Minder..
Yes the wonderful George Cole this is 1941 George was born in 1925 and sadly passed away in 2015 aged 90 ..
Brilliant film
I was surprised Mills played such a stinker! I figured he would be the hero.
Georg Cole wasn’t very old in this film
15
He was just 16 years old . Then on to at Trinians. As flash harry. Then is to arther daily he also featerd in a film called the green man . To gether. As well as another film they work well together .
Wouldn't an MI5 man checkout Perry?
And no one from RAF came to check on Perry during his stay. We can forgive the poetic license.
@@an-tm3250 it's necessary, apparently. "He's one of ours"...I wonder if he hadn't been thought so, they might have left him in 'the loch'?
Interesting film; Thank-You!
I like the storyline and characters, the Actors and cinematography; seems almost as though it were written to be a stage production, however, and some of the end-scenes were overacted - by some Cast members.
I really enjoyed the main ‘Good-Guys’ performances, and think that Alfred Hitchcock would have done an excellent-job with it - had he directed, instead!
Thank-You!$
I thought the tall older man was the Bad German & it was the young soldier. 😮😮Good Movie !!
You know, there is something called a "spoiler alert" so you don't ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it before. Fortunately for me, I have, but it's been a long time.
It's called basic courtesy.
At 1:17:38, she says, "Our gallant boys of the RFA", instead of "RAF"! And there was more.....
Just great--TY
This was so cool!
A corker!
What a death scene! Ha,Ha! Really good movie, Thanks
Cracking!
