The collaboration of Noel Coward and David Lean produced some of the finest films in British cinema. One of them is the superb This Happy Breed, starring Robert Newton and Celia Johnson.
Remembered for playing villains, Newton is anything but menacing in this role. Celia is beyond wonderful, as she always was.
This is a YouTube video that’s sure to be pulled, so don’t save it for later. Watch it now.

A perfect double-feature with this film would be the previously featured Here Come the Huggetts.
