For those who experienced a move to Maine in the 1970ties this is a wonderful epitaph. I was one of them and it was wonderful. Please see my "Reply" to @rda3000 below.

Fantastic film, and yet disappointing! I had hoped to do a Then and Now comparative, seeking out the nominated places given, and then seeing them now on Google Maps. I have done this many times before, but on this occasion there appear to be some strange anomalies in the references spoken of. One example is Combe / Coombe Hampton. No matter how I tried, it appears elusive, or non extant. The only obvious place in the locality is Kilkhampton. Although the church tower seen of that place several times in the film seems correct, none of the professed views remotely marry to any that now exist. The church is slightly elevated in shots, and yet no such scenes exist anywhere around the town. I used old O/S maps, as usual, and again, nothing made any sense. I otherwise did find some of the farms mentioned, but little else. Can anyone kindly advise me at all? Thank you.

O dear! They had a clear "diversity" problem. They were all honest natives of our land. Terrible! How could they "celebrate diversity" when they were doing fine without any? Tut, tut, tut. Bet they didn't even know what a suicide bomber was! Or a "trans-woman". Bumpkins.

The Ministry of Information was telling the people what they were fighting for. Ironically it all changed so fast after the war.

I'm a very very proud Cornish-boy, and I will never leave this awesome county. My Grandparents met when they were in lanivet school, during ww2. Most evenings they would go to the top of a hill called old coach Rd, from therein was possible to see a very faint glow of Plymouth being bombed by German bombers, this was over 50 miles . My gran was visiting her gran5in St.Blazey there was a humm of a engine and my gran sJd it was a German plane he was so low that my gran could see the crew in the plane, they waved to my gran who waved back, ne t thing my gran could remember was waking up in hospital and being told she survived a bomb that pilot dropped as he waved to her. There were more raids in Cornwall that weren't mentioned especially around Falmouth and Budoek-vean, this was due because of the huge numbers of allied forces training for the d-day landings, , awesome video

The characters in this vid. are now pushing 80 and are maybe off to the happy hunting grounds. I was one of them in Waldoboro ME. Moved from NYC when that once great city where I was raised was in the throes of total economic and social collapse. That was 1972. It was a blessing for me to be able to live like the people in this vid.. For many the end of the road came with the economic downturn following the Vietnam War. Suddenly there was very high unemployment in Maine (as elsewhere) and inflation. This destroyed the finances of those who came to Maine and lived there on a shoestring budget. I moved back to the NYC area to practice the construction skills and art I had learned in Maine over the course of eight years. I fondly remember how I recounted my sojourn there: 8 winters and 7 summers. Back then it seemed like an enormous waste of time and effort, but in retrospect it was a hard earned paradise with many life lessons that could not be attained otherwise. I'm 78 years young and look forward to returning - don't know when or how, but that was the way we all felt 50 years ago. Can't do it lessen you try.
