This is one of the most memorable films that I've ever seen and I'd been searching for it for a long time. With all the new technology I finally found it on Vudu and watched it for the second time. What fabulous performances by all three actors. Albert Finney is a favorite of mine, and he plays the once orphaned, perhaps delinquent gentleman who becomes the seeming victim of these 'lost' boys. As the power slowly shifts to Finney, he takes on a fatherly role toward the boys. This doesn't say enough. There's an atmosphere created by the director that elicits sometimes comedic and sometimes very touching moments between the parties. It's a feeling that's very difficult to categorize. Suffice it to say that if you like an interesting story, superbly acted by all, and don't mind the lack of special effects, you might see the gem I see in this film.
