Trivia

Used the same film set for the town centre as the one which was used in The Fast Lady although with some shops and buildings in different places and with the George and Dragon Hotel (in The Fast Lady) turned into a British Railways goods depot.

WARM AND CHARMING

Yet again a film from a lost era of charm and innocence. The cast act out their respective parts well, and again add warmth and charm to the film. Robertson-justice plays an excellent part (as usual) as the pompous over-bearing Sir Beverly Grant. And, as the newly weds a renovate their cottage, viewers to the film are probably yearning to own a cottage just like it, set in beautiful surroundings.
