Goodnight Mister Tom (DVD 1999)

A really lovely heart felt film its been on tv but never really got the chance to watch it ...bought the film because my 9 year old was going to watch it at school as its part of the learning that they are doing but she was unable to go to school to watch it as she was ill that day... so i bought it for her to watch at home and was really glad i did as we all enjoyed watching the dvd... has its sad moments but a lovely film to watch.. have the tissues ready ...

love this film, great for kids. got for school and kids loved it. gived children ans insight into what life was like during world war 2.

I think John Thaw is a brilliant actor but he excels himself in this film. It is a wonderful story about a little boy looked after by 'Mister Tom' during the war.

Bought the film for my 10 year old daughter as she was studying World War II at school. Its a lovely film for both adults and children

this is a real hard hitting film set in war time when a young boy is sent out of london beacuse of bommings and mets mister tom.
A real tear jerker and pulls at the heart strings if you want a reall good film for he whole family this is the film for you.

Classic. I remember watching it when it first came out and so when I saw it on DVD I had to have it, a real tear-jerker, loved every minute of it.

I bought this because my 10 year old son is reading it as part of his required school reading and was finding it difficult to imagine how the dialect of the book sounded. It was a good adaptation of the book which is quite tough going for a younger person. It has some quite disturbing scenes so I wouldn't rate it as suitable for under 8's. It has a happy ending but a lot of tragedy is endured to get there! John Thaw, as always, is a pleasure to watch and the supporting cast are excellent.

My Husband loved this film when shown on TV, we personnaly think this was one of the best that John Thaw did. A very touching film of a hard man that mellowed and loved a Boy who stayed with him during the War. Excellent Film can watch it over and over again.

Loved the film on television and delighted that I was able to find it on DVD to keep. I have bought two copies, one for myself and one for my daughter.

I RENTED COPY FOR MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO LOVED IT AND WANTED HER OWN PERSONAL COPY.
A DELIGHTFUL TALE AND GOOD BACKGROUND SETTING FOR SCHOOL STUDIES OF REFUGEES DURING WW2.
A GOOD FAMILY MOVIE.

I bought this as a present for my husband, who really loves the film. It was a reasonable price and I was so pleased to receive it so swiftly.

This is an excellent example of the length and breadth of the acting abilities of John Thaw. Good story as shown on TV series, emotional and about wartime and evacuees. I bought it for a friend who had missed the recent rerun on TV.

bought as xmas present for mother, fast delivery, excellent dvd. Could not be happier with the product or the ebayer

I had seen this film on the TV and purchased it to watch with my grandson who is 13yrs old, and he too liked it. Being born not many years after WWII, I could therefore relate to it.It is a very good story line, with good acting, and a realistic setting. I find that it is one of those films that you can watch again and again. Of course it is only my opinion but I would highly recomend the film.

A lovely, nostalgic film showing what is best about the ordinary Englishman. John Thaw is incapable of giving a bad performance.

First saw this on tv and waited for it to come out on dvd, its a wonderful story and the acting is superb by all,i would highly recommend this dvd as a good heart warming family film.

Bought this dvd for my little girl for xmas, as she has just finished work on it at school - I think it will go down a treat, and I am also looking forward to watching it aswell.

Mr Tom is a World War 2 Story about an evacuee that is sent to the country side to live with Mr Tom a widower who not only lost his son but also his wife to Scarletina. A fantastic performance by the late John Thaw and a good perspective into the war years. Sometimes a bit sad but the ending is a real Pleasure. 5*****

Good clean family entertainment. No violence. A true picture of life at home durng WW2. Sad with happy ending. Will watch it time and time again.

My son said he would like to watch it after doing about world 2 in history because his class did not see this film but another one. I have not watched it yet has I have put it away for christmas for my son. I did see it on telly a few years a go and what I can remember it had a very strong story line about a boy who had been evacuated to the country and an old man who was set in his ways. It was excellent watching and would recommend.

John Thaw at his best, delight full war time movie
took me back to my child hood.. a tug at the heart stings..
great movie !

This made-for-TV film adaptation of the book by Michelle Magorian is the story of a lonely reclusive widower living in a small village who houses a young boy, evacuated from London in the early days of WWII. The relationship is reluctant and tenuous at first, but the two begin to develop a relationship that starts as mentor and protege, but progresses quickly into a father/son relationship, reminiscient of the "Spring and Autumn" BBC series in the 1970's.

Terrific performances by John Thaw of "The Sweeny" and "Inspector Morse" fame and an equally good performance by Nick Robinson, make this a must-see.

for a family friends birthday.......................................................................................................

A great film which I have always been fond of,I have always wanted to add it to my collection and as it was a bargain I snapped it up.Recommended,
