So Well Remembered

So Well Remembered is a 1947 British film starring John Mills, Martha Scott, and Trevor Howard. The film was based on the James Hilton novel of the same name and tells the story of a reformer and the woman he marries in a fictional Lancashire mill town. Hilton also narrated. The movie, shot on location in England, is faithful to the novel in many particulars, but the motivations of the main female character and the tone of the ending are considerably altered. The first screening was in Macclesfield's Majestic Theatre on August 9, 1947, after which the film disappeared. It was only discovered... some 60 years later by Macc Lad Muttley of The Macc Lads infamy in Tennessee, USA. At the end of World War II in Europe, town councillor, newspaper editor, and zealous reformer George Boswell recalls the past 26 years of his life. In 1919, he defends Olivia Channing when she applies for a library job. Her cotton mill owner father John Channing had been sent to prison for almost 20 years for speculating with and losing many people's money.
