Terrence Rattigan's The Winslow Boy

The Winslow Boy is one of three or four plays written by Terrence Rattigan that I either love to bits or have made a lasting impression on me. Of course, like any play it's the actors and circumstance of having the play being preformed that makes it come together as it should. However, in The Winslow Boy I'm always kept wondering why Catherine Winslow didn't actually realise immediately why Sir Robert Morton made a rather huge personal sacrifice himself in order for her brother Ronnie's case to go to trail and clear his name. At the end of the play the terribly private and reserved barrister does show his hand though, and we'll end up believing that Catherine will be indeed properly courted by and engaged to him rather sooner than later thereafter. Although he'll still be an elderly barrister who dislikes suffragettes

I like Robert Donat.

I highly recommend the films, Goodbye Mr. Chips, The Count Of Monte Cristo and The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness.

@therighttothink50 I like also The adventures of Tartu. And how about Roger Livesey as sadly forgotten but great English actor too? You know him?

I've only seen him in Master of Ballantre and Of Human Bondage. Might have seen Colonel Blimp awhile ago too.
