yesterday was made in 1946 man! Nobody could act back then, especially Englishmen.

They all simply jabbered as quickly as they could as if fearful of using up too much expensive film, and sounded like Cholmondley-Warner (as, I suspect, do you and that other frightful little toff Berni).

I imagined David Lean to be some young turk of film I had yet to hear of.

David Lean is quite famous, h. He directed some other stuff.

I like the film very much, but of course there is no guarantee that it would be to your taste. It's an entirely subjective matter.
