What a pity that the previous reviewer fails to judge the film in the context of its time ; post war London.
Its very a simplistic view of life in the 1950's that doesn't try to be highbrow or talk down to its audience.
Smoking was incredibly common in those days & the film merely shows life as it was. Children being told to go off & gather flowers on their own is certainly something that would be unusual in 2009, but in my own childhood in the 60's was 100% normal.
Its a fantastic social 'document' showing us where we have come from & perhaps reminding us that our modern predilection for wrapping our children in cotton might not be the best way forward.
