What happens

So Well Remembered is a 1947 British drama film directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring John Mills, Martha Scott, and Trevor Howard. The film was based on James Hilton's 1945 novel of the same title and tells the story of a reformer and the woman he marries in a fictional mill town in Lancashire. Hilton also narrates the film. It was shot on location in England. It is faithful to the novel in many particulars, but the motives of the main female character and the tone of the ending are considerably altered. The first screening was in the Majestic Theatre in Macclesfield on 9 August 1947. At some stage the film disappeared before being rediscovered in 2013 in Tennessee by Muttley McLad of the band The Macc Lads. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
