I loved this movie. I loved the country house, countryside, actors/actresses, English accents and the various things it gave me to think about. But the most impressive thing about it, to me, was James Mason's performance, which was perfect. I liked the character he played. This country gentleman was so reasonable and level-headed. Near the end, he is comforting one of his employees, who has just been shot, and he recites the Lord's Prayer to comfort the man. The delivery is beautiful, it is so well-done.
