In the early years of this century, two English map makers unintentionally disturb the tranquility of a small Welsh village when they inform the inhabitants that their most famous geographic landmark--their mountain--is actually a hill. Technically, it's 15-feet too short to qualify as the mountain they always thought it to be. Lead by the village innkeeper Morgan the Goat, who enlists the aid of the seductive Betty of Cardiff, the villagers scheme to keep the two cartographers in town long enough to re-measure the mountain's height.

I have to admit, I almost gave this film five stars, and after watching it again, I actually did. It left me with such a warm and wonderful feeling—not just from the beautiful landscapes, but also from the overall atmosphere, the charming village setting, and the lovely characters. It’s a standard film in every sense, with those emotionally charged, heartwarming, sad, and even suspenseful moments. But there’s something so cozy and enjoyable about watching it. For the sheer joy and comfort this movie gave me, I can’t help but sing its praises.
