## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine English drama
*by B***N on May 1, 2014*

In the spirit of the arguably superior 'Girl with Green Eyes' (UK, 1964, 4 stars), also directed by Desmond Davis, and descended from more famous works of proto-feminist fiction, such as Ibsen's 'A Doll's House' and Lewis's 'Main Street,' 'I Was Happy Here' (UK, 1966, aka 'Time Lost and Time Remembered') is a thoughtfully written, earnestly acted man-tries-to-own-girl morality piece with a few class-oriented kitchen-sink elements sprinkled in and done with a hint of experimental, New Wave-influenced filmmaking. There isn't anything groundbreaking here either intellectually or emotionally, but the script's sense of humanity and introspection and its cool evenhandedness in assigning blame to both sexes for their too-often tragically self-serving agendas distinguishes IWHH from many of its contemporaries with similar themes. VCI's presentation is mainly good, offering a relatively clean b&w picture (1.33:1), although on my copy I encountered a number of random audio sputters that may be the result of a defective disc rather than a problem with the source recording. 3 1/2 stars overall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Familiar territory, superior treatment
*by W***H on March 11, 2012*

This 1965 British film, set in Country Clare, Ireland, and London, is a coming-of-age story which, though firmly set in the values and attitudes of its day, attains a timeless quality by virtue of an intelligent, fluent script and fine ensemble playing by a top-notch cast. Sarah Miles plays the girl who leaves an Irish fishing village for London, hoping to be joined by her boyfriend, but, desperately lonely, ends up meeting a budding doctor. The story, which I won't spoil by going into more detail, is simple and universal. Anyone who has been in love can relate to it. The film-making shows distinct influences of the French 'New Wave' but uses these techniques judiciously and is creative in its own right. The score by William Alwyn is highly effective and the black-and-white photography lovingly captures the magnificent sky and seascapes of the Irish coast. It is a quiet, almost contemplative film, that uses flashbacks extensively. The weaving of these time transitions is very good, on the whole, but audiences that prefer a linear narrative and buckets of action are not likely to be satisfied. For me, I rate the film highly because I know I already want to watch it again.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Three Stars
*by M***A on September 30, 2014*

I found the movie did not fulfill the ad's promise in any way.
