Plot Summary

Alice and Martin Jordan and their three children move into their new home in a small village. They're a happy family even if Alice finds her mother-in-law Cecily Jordan, a well-known and much published author on English gardens, somewhat overbearing. She was also once an avid painter but hasn't worked on any pieces for some time. They soon learn that there are few secrets in a small village, but they find this amusing. They are soon invited to dinner by Sir Ralph and Lady Unwin and meet their daughter Clodagh, who has recently returned home after a scandal in New York. Alice and Clodagh are soon lovers, and when Martin's brother Anthony visits, he is the first to realize what is going on. The village is soon abuzz with rumors. Written by garykmcd

Trivia Joan Sims was originally cast in the part of Lettice Deveral but had to withdraw from the film when she fractured a rib after falling from a bicycle whilst rehearsing a scene. The part was recast with Rosalie Crutchley. See more »
Goofs The village fete has a coconut shy, where contestants try to win coconuts by dislodging them from their stands with thrown balls. However, the stall has no backing, and only a couple of yards behind it is a refreshment area with seats. Any patrons of this area would be in danger of their lives, suggesting that the placement of the shy is only cosmetic. See more »

Quotes Juliet Dunne: [warning Alice about Clodagh] Just watch her, that's all. They say she's been pretty wild in her time.
Alice Jordan: Wish I'd been wild. I never had the nerve.
Juliet Dunne: That kind of nerve requires money, good schools and hordes of ancestors.
