Goodnight Mister Tom
John Thaw stars as the widowed and cantankerous Tom Oakley in this charming film adaptation of the prize-winning children's novel by Michelle Magorian. When WWII breaks out, Tom finds his quiet life in a small rural village changed when nine-year-old Willie Beech (Nick Robinson), a quiet, sad child is evacuated from London and billeted with him.
