...miscellaneous and uneven as a whole. In the long final scene, where the immemorial charm of the English countryside is charged with the tensions of an approaching air raid, Shaw achieves for a time a kind of magic.

At various times, mostly in the 1940s and '50s, Walter had made other recordings of the nine. But Columbia decided on a repeat performance with latest recording techniques, including stereo...
