Priest is an excellent British film. With solid casting, it is very well-acted. The direction is excellent and the story/script is straight forward and thought provoking. Unlike a typical Hollywood production, this film is candid, but avoids titillation.

Whether or not, one agrees with the "truth or morality" of Noel Coward's ennobling view of the British "bourgeois" from 1919-1939, the acting and direction in "This Happy Breed", are superb, and what a cast. I think the notion of sacrifice, pride, and work ethic, might have easily been written about many similar low and middle income families in America from Brooklyn to San Francisco, during the same period, as it was portrayed in the equally, excellent film, "Best Years of our Lives" (1946)
