The DVD is based on the novel by Michelle Magorian and explores the life-long bond which develops between its two lead characters--an illiterate 10 year-old orphan from London (Willie), and a grumpy, cynical old widow who lives alone in the English countryside (Tom). After Willie is forced to seek refuge at Tom’s house in anticipation of the WWII German bombings of London, the story follows the trials and tribulations of the enduring relationship which eventually forms between them. The 101-minute DVD is in DVD 5 format and also features biographies. Review: A truly wonderful film - I've lost track of the number of times I've watched this dvd; to me, it's the most delightful of all stories and I've read the book a number of times as well. It tells the tale of a small boy living in London, terrified by his vicious mother who treats him appallingly and beats him regularly, until war breaks out and he is evacuated to the country. He finds himself placed in the home of an elderly man, a widower who has no idea of how to treat children, and at first the little boy is frightened as he expects to be treated as he was at home. But as the days pass, he realises that the old man is kind and gentle, and they form a wonderful relationship. Half way through the film the boy's mother demands that he returns home, and his life changes back again. I won't say any more as I don't want to spoil the story, but it's a truly wonderful film, absolutely brilliantly acted and one you'll find yourself wanting to watch again and again. Review: A great performance from John Thaw - A great movie . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Thaw John | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,137 Reviews | | Format | Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL, Widescreen | | Genre | Military & War | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | ITV Studios Home Entertainment | | Number of discs | 1 | | Publication date | 6 Aug. 1999 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 41 minutes | | UPC | 767943251530 | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Military & War - **Format:** PAL, Dolby, Widescreen, Digital Sound - **Contributor:** Thaw John - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 1 ## Images ![Goodnight Mister Tom [DVD] [1998] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81u4Xd-8HxL.jpg) ![Goodnight Mister Tom [DVD] [1998] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hLZkfYNDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly wonderful film *by H***Y on 27 May 2025* I've lost track of the number of times I've watched this dvd; to me, it's the most delightful of all stories and I've read the book a number of times as well.

This brilliant TV film portrays the relationship of a lonely widower in his sixties, Tom Oakley, and a sensitive ten year old evacuee, Willie Beech, during the early years of the War. The late John Thaw gives an amazing and refreshing performance as 'Mister Tom' while Nick Robinson provides a memorable portrayal of the physically abused young boy from inner London who finds himself in a rural village of an England which has largely disappeared. It is a love story with a difference - a tale of an innocent wartime relationship between a widower who has lost both his wife and infant son and a young boy from inner London who has been physically and mentally abused by his mother and her twisted understanding of the Christian faith. If you have tears, prepare to shed them when watching this brilliant TV film - you will never see a more convincing portrayal of true love - against a background of rural England at a time of war. Here we see another side to the late John Thaw - a gentle and caring individual, alone with his faithful border collie but one who is still grieving the loss of both his wife and young son while he was away serving in World War 1. And Nick Robinson gives the performance of a lifetime as the timid evacuee, Willie Beech. This is truly an outstanding film and a fitting tribute to the late John Thaw. Make sure you don't miss it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Goodnight Mister Tom [DVD] [1998] - Goodbye, Mr Chips [DVD] - Hope and Glory [DVD] [1987] [2005] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/48109227-goodnight-mister-tom-dvd-1998](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/48109227-goodnight-mister-tom-dvd-1998) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
