Classic John Mills: O.H.M.S. / The History of Mr Polly / The Singer Not the Song
The career of John Mills spanned an amazing seven decades. He was the quintessential English hero and gentleman, exuding strength and authority but with a warmth and grace. In these three films we can see why Mills, the father, the officer, the gentleman, was embraced by so many around the globe. O.H.M.S (1937) Hunted for a murder he did not commit, Jimmy flees for England. There he joins the army where he meets Bert. On service in China Jimmy and Bert fall for the same girl. To win her heart Jimmy must first prove himself, but at what cost? The History of Mr. Pollys (1949) After the death of his father, Mr Polly inherits a large amount of money. He then falls in love with a girl, but the relationship sours when her friends hear of it. Spurned, he marries his cousin and settles in a sleepy town where he opens a shop. After fifteen years of unhappy marriage he decides its time to make a change. The Singer Not the Song (1961) A Mexican town is terrorised by a bandit that no one, except for a priest, has the courage to stand up to. The bandit, however, bribes the priest by threatening a young woman. The priest is then forced to act on the bandits behalf, before eventually denounces him with dramatic consequences.
