On par with Citizen Kane - A film which will endure the ages, 7 December 2000
10/10
Author: flexmark from Chicago, IL

A British comedy far ahead of its time. A unique view of the hardships faced by young newlyweds in postwar London. This film marked the defining roles for several actors/actresses. A solid performance by Dirk Bogarde, possibly overshadowed by the debut of Pia Terri.
