While this is gorgeously filmed in color and shows off a lot of pastels in its photography, this is actually a very dull comedy about a young man (Peter Finch) searching for a vase that he had seen as a kid and has been obsessed with ever since. The base itself isn't all that spectacular, and the story just flows from incident to incident without really any rhyme or reason or actual purpose. I found select moments quite amusing, particularly showing since going around his activities and dealing with just regular occurrences that people would face on a daily basis.
People getting on and off the train, grumbling at each other, is presented in a very funny way, and one seeing that I felt a bit guilty over has him entering the house of a disabled old man sitting in a wheelchair with a cane unable to speak. Finch pretends to be dusting and the old man wakes up and spots him, and srarts swinging his cane around as if he is envisioning himself in a sword fight. However, that scene is not without purpose. Adrienne Corri is Finch's world weary wife, obviously suffering from severe depression. So while this has a very light-hearted atmosphere, there's really little to laugh that outside a few moments.
