In the capable hands of writers Goodrich and Hackett, who have the knack of pulling such things up by their bootstraps and tanking you like them, and with the direction of Van Dyko, who makes a habit of good plctures, there is an air of spontaneity and realness that makes the picture worthwhile going to see.

The subtlety of the dialogue is refreshing and the film has been produced by Tom Walls with all his talent for English light comedy.
