01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
It is traditional for the widespread Gregory family to return home for Christmas at the parsonage in the remote village of Wyndenham in Norfolk. The film opens with introductions of each of them except for younger daughter Margaret (Margaret Leighton) who is for much of the first half an unseen character. The plot centres on the situation of Jenny (Celia Johnson) who is housekeeper for her aged parent Martin (Ralph Richardson). He is the village parson and apparently cares much more about his parishioners than about his family. Jenny wishes to marry engineer David (John Gregson), who is bound for South America, but she cannot leave her father unless her sister or one of her aunts agrees to look after Martin.
