I miss choir
So tonight I watched the film Paradise Road, a fictional account of the true story of Margaret Dryburgh a gentle hearted Scottish missionary who championed the prisoners of the Japanese in WW2 Sumatra and formed a choir to raise morale
Her story is an inspiration .
Look for the moment where the lumpy and always a burden Mrs Roberts ( Elizabeth Spriggs) gets the harmony right ….heartbreaking
Enjoy
Note the bespeckled Pauline Collins played Dryburgh and Glen Close took the credit as the choir master which she wasn’t
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteA bit different to Tenko.
ReplyDeleteThat was a touching moment with Mrs Roberts.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I did enjoy it. Hope you can return to choir as soon as is possible.
Just beautiful. We played that at both of my parent's funerals, and it always gives me a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. xx
ReplyDeleteYou found my tear switch - again!
ReplyDeleteSadly, despite very fine intentions and what looks on paper like an outstanding cast, it's just not a very good film....
ReplyDeleteI agree , but bits do shine
DeleteI have never heard of the film it is now on my must watch list. Thank you for sharing it.
