Being a child of the country, however, I look upon Swallows And Amazons as being a powerful film, its rush of childish excitement still potent after all these years. Perhaps from looking so very ordinary, it depends upon the joy in the eyes of its cast to convince, their running through the woodlands capturing the fun there is to be had in dark and unexplored bits of one's own backyard.
