I did not enjoy it as much as Powell and Pressburger's other films. The main character was annoying especially in the latter part of the film. The editing seemed to frantic at times, but maybe that's to represent her desire in getting married. The cinematography was beautiful, I have to admit. And the introduction to northern Scotland was wonderful. This is between 3.5 and 4 stars for me.

If a movie can be any better I'd like to know how. Everyone working at the top of their form.

Una película romántica que me atrapó gracias a su conseguida atmósfera y su embriagadora fotografía en blanco y negro. A destacar el original modo de presentar los créditos iniciales alternándolos con la presentación y evolución de la protagonista, así como la emocionante secuencia de la tormenta marina.

Holy Cow! Can all young men watch this movie instructionally?!? Please? Roger Livesey is the single most charismatic and appealing romantic lead I have ever seen in film (or in life for that matter). That is this picture's greatest strength, I think. But it is also an incredibly beautiful movie that faithfully captures a convincing romance against an achingly beautiful backdrop of sea and foam (thanks Erwin Hillier).

You got me listening. I saw the film and liked it a lot. But most charismatic/appealing romantic lead you've seen in life? Ah man. Haha. :P

Another masterpiece from The Archers, this film is an exquisitely photographed mood piece that shows Powell and Pressburger at the height of their powers. It also has one of the best scripts they worked with deftly combining romance, satire, and gothic drama. Of course all of the actors are amazing. It's like a tasty little gumdrop.

I think Raymond Chandler says it best: "I've never seen a picture which smelled of the wind and rain in quite this way nor one which so beautifully exploited the kind of scenery people actually live with, rather than the kind which is commercialized as a show place."

IKWIG Weekend on Mull, 15 - 17 October 2010 Plans are now well advanced for the I Know Where I'm Going! reunion/celebration weekend to celebrate that iconic 1945 film on the island where it was made. Anyhow the weekend is 15th - 17th October and a trip to Corryvreckan is going to be one of the highlights. See http://www.powell-pressburger.org/Events.html#IKWIG-Mull for more details

Romantic comedy, social study, satire, comedy and adventure form the combination of genres you’ll find in I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING. It’s a film to savour whose flavor doesn’t disappear after the first viewing. I liked the whirlpool scene that has no reason to be jealous of our highly polished blockbusters, I liked the description of the Scottish countryside and its simple inhabitants, I liked the dream sequence in the train which starts with a brilliant idea ( the missing wedding gown ), I liked the song and dance scene. Masterpiece. A DVD zone your library.

I imagine this is the kind of romance some people dream of and the Archers have the perfect charming style for this kind of story. This was right before their renown masterpieces but the mastery of writing and direction are already there by this point. If you're already an admirer of P & P, you know what to expect; if you're not, this may most likely make you one.
