Trivia
The house in which the family live is the house in which author John Mortimer and his parents lived, and which the author lives today. The gardening hat that Laurence Olivier wears belonged to John Mortimer's father. See more »Quotes

This movie is another sensitive story about the relationship between a aging and temperamental old father (superbly played by Olivier) and a shy, intelligent and good natured son (Bates). Good dialogues, excellent footage of English's landscape but otherwise not a great new point among other movies with the same context (just remember, for example, "Dad", with Barnard Hughes and Martin Sheen).
