> [@Satchmo](#): > > I’m inclined to say the same about The Englishman … but I’ve never seen it. That pretty much what it’s about. There’s a hill in Wales that’s just under 1,000 feet and the villagers add enough dirt to the top to make it technically count as a mountain. The Englishman happens to go up there while they’re working on it, and by the time he comes down… well, there you are. Mountain. It’s a cute little movie. ---
