I've seen countless clips from this film over the years but never managed to see the whole thing. Well, today it popped up on Talking Pictures TV and I readied myself for a treat. Sadly I was disappointed - the film is a very middling example of the inconsequential fluff that the Rank/Box/St John team churned out in the 50's and early 60's. Despite some good names - Ian Carmichael, Peter Finch, Muriel Pavlow and Kay Kendall, the film has a very 'flat' feel to it and I have to say I was quite relieved when the final credits rolled. The muggy print shown by TPTV didn't help either.
