I enjoyed this story when I read it at school in the 70's and this is the fourth or fifth time I have watched the movie.
Very realistic socially (I grew up just a few miles from where this is filmed) and don't doubt that the PE teacher is based in reality.
Touching and emotional.
Rating: - Kes [Region 2]
DVD based on the book A Kestrel for a Knave. Quality of the DVD was excellent. The dialect may pose a problem to unfamiliar ears but it wasn't as bad as I had expected. The film is one of the few that I've seen which almost mirrors the book. A few changes were made but not significant enough to create any undue problems for students who require accurate details. A good helpful guide for students.

At your suggestion,I contacted the UK supplier who suggested I purchase a player that will accept Zone 2 formats. I consider this an unacceptable answer & have not received any further Email's from the seller. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
