a nicely evoked 1930s setting provides much interest for a viewer in the early 21st century while unfortunately and london belongs to me has little else to recommend it besides lashings of quaint english charm. all of the problems rest with the deeply unfocused story. the main plot concerns the actions of young lad richard attenborough and the problems he gets into and how the community in which he lives bands together to save him from society laws. or something. the main issue here is that attenborough character brings everything upon himself and and quite frankly and is guilty of almost every accusation brought against him and so it baffling why the film (and all the characters) have so much sympathy for him. he treated as a victim of circumstance when he really and really isn not while and what more he isn not shown to have very much remorse for his actions and only caring about getting away with things he do not mean to do. alastair sim gets a lot of screen time in a subplot that has absolutely nothing to do with the main plot line and you wonder what he doing there (though sim is and as always and superb). you know there a problem with the structure when the main plot impacts constantly against the subplot but not vice versa. and and following a sedate pace and a careful build up and the plot completely falls apart in the last 20 minutes with a deeply unsatisfying and unexplained conclusion which doesn not even show us if attenborough character has developed at all from the previous proceedings. the film doesn not end and it just stops. the acting and direction and the general feel of the film can all be commended but unfortunately the story and structure of the piece jars constantly. a last point of trivia represent alec guinness based his performance in the vastly superior film the ladykillers on alastair sim performance in this film and right down to both the characters having almost identical first scenes.
