Trivia:
The swelling orchestral fanfare which plays over the film's final shots is based around the main theme of the then-popular patriotic song London Pride - a song written and most notably recorded by Noel Coward, the film's producer and author of the play upon which the film is based. moreGoofs:

One of the best films made in the 40's. One of those films you can watch over and over and still laugh, although there is a serious side to the plot, which works well. I especially I liked the digs between the grandmother (Mrs Flint) and the Aunt Silvia. Brilliant dialogue and acting by all concerned. Great...
