    • Trivia
      Laurie Lee on writing Cider with Rosie: "I shut myself up two years in the process of writing it. I was down there on the edge of the Fulham Road (London) with blinds drawn. Two solid years, my friends never saw me. I wrote it three times. I sort of carved it about and chopped it down and refined it, yes there was a lot of sweat to it." (Source: 1959 BBC interview)
    • Goofs
      The cycle that Laurie piggybacks on with his mother has a very modern brake lever, probably from a mountain bike, and cable brakes. At the time the film is set, the brakes would most likely have been connected to the levers by rods.

      [Annie is upstairs nursing her new-borm baby. Jack goes up to see her]

      Annie Lee: Hello, darling. How is everyone?

      Young Jack: Oh, all right.

      Annie Lee: You behaving yourself?

      Young Jack: I've not broken nothin'.

      Annie Lee: Good boy. What's everybody up to?

      Young Jack: Marj is out in the yard, Doth's peeling spuds.

      Annie Lee: What about the others?

      Young Jack: Frances is cleaning her trolley and Phyl is sitting on the steps.

      Annie Lee: What about our Lol?

      Young Jack: [unemotionally, as if it were perfectly normal] Lol is dead. Turned yellow. Mrs Moores is laying him out.

      [Annie looks uncomprehending then rushes downstairs in a panic]

    Soak in this magical story

    This story of a life in simpler times, was magical.

    It reminded me of how busy we've all got, and how we've lost the connection to community and nature with our busy city lives.

    The movie sits in a time between the two world wars, and shows the strength of women, and the family bond.

    This is a simple movie. Not one with outstanding acting or huge moments. It is slowly told, with sincerity and an eye for the beauty in moments.

    Take some time to escape, and soak in this magical story
