But soon he finds the eccentric locals, led by a witty innkeeper (Colm Meaney -- STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION) will stop at nothing to defend their honor! While the townspeople rally around their "mountain," a fiery young woman (Tara Fitzgerald -- SIRENS) charms the puzzled out-of-towner into seeing things their way! You'll be elevated by laughter as the hilarious townspeople rise to the occasion -- and the bewildered visitor stumbles into love when he least expects it! Review: This Charming Film Offers A Trip Back In Time to 1917 North Wales - "The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill..." is an EXCELLENT movie, based on a true story. It was filmed on location in Northern Wales. A nearby village had to be substituted in the film, because Taff's Well - the real name for the fictional "Ffynnon Garw" in the movie - was too built up to resemble a rural Welsh village from 1917. When I found this movie available on desertcart, I ordered two copies of the DVD, after seeing the "The Englishman..." as a TV broadcast in April 2015. I don't know why I had never come across this film before, or heard of it 20 years ago when it had first appeared. Though Roger Ebert really liked this movie, other 1995 reviews are rather tepid. My own opinion is that this quirky, funny production is well done in all respects. The DVD quality is flawless, too. I am happy to have my own copy now, to watch again and again (I got one copy for myself, and one to give as a gift.) Review: Charming, simply charming - American moviegoers, I am sad to say, have a tendency to think of comedy only in broad terms. If a film isn't filled with bawdy jokes or slapstick humor, then it can't possibly be really funny, right? Wrong. "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain" is a gentle comedy about simple people in a small Welsh village during World War I who take great pride in the mountain in whose valley the town is located. But when two British surveyors come to measure the mountain as a part of the war effort, the townsfolk are dismayed to discover that -- at least by the British standards -- their mountain is only a hill. Of course, the Welsh will do anything to ensure that their mountain is deemed a mountain. Underlying the humor of this film is the poignancy of a community that is trying to hold on to its identity in the face of a war that has devastated the population and has left the community something of a shadow of its former self. They have lost men in war -- some killed, some who come back shell-shocked -- and so they do what they can and what they must in order to hang on to their identity. The scene in which a shell-shocked young man journeys up the mountain during a thunderstorm is particularly moving. Although the Brits can do broad, over-the-top comedy as well as anyone else (Monty Python comes to mind), they also have the knack of doing small, gentle comedies as well as, if not better, than anyone else. And the scenery of Wales is absolutely breathtaking. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Christopher Monger, Colm Meaney, Garfield Morgan, Hugh Grant, Hugh Vaughan, Ian Hart, Ian McNeice, Ivor Monger, Kenneth Griffith, Lisa Palfrey, Robert Blythe, Robert Pugh, Tara Fitzgerald, Tudor Vaughan Contributor Christopher Monger, Colm Meaney, Garfield Morgan, Hugh Grant, Hugh Vaughan, Ian Hart, Ian McNeice, Ivor Monger, Kenneth Griffith, Lisa Palfrey, Robert Blythe, Robert Pugh, Tara Fitzgerald, Tudor Vaughan See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 747 Reviews | | Format | Closed-captioned, Color, Letterboxed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 39 minutes | ## Images ![The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IlZYqXFzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Charming Film Offers A Trip Back In Time to 1917 North Wales *by M***G on July 5, 2015* "The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill..." is an EXCELLENT movie, based on a true story.
