It is interesting that so far only two of the reviews are from the UK,and they are both downbeat whereas the ones from abroad extol it.I find this strange.You have a man who has just lost his wife and contemplating suicide and the nurse who cared for his wife things she is love with him and leaves her lover in a hotel in Brighton and dashes back to him.Doesn't make them the most sympathetic of characters.In fact you feel more sympathy for Hugh Williams.So it is the minor characters that really interest.Kathleen Harrison and Wally Patch as the harassed couple,Wilfred Lawson as a police sergeant,Renee Ray and Merle Tottenham as 2 young women,Garry Marsh as a rogue concert promoter are all more interesting. By the way this film was shown on Channel 4 in the mid 1980s and has has just been shown on London Live.
