"It's nice to be on terra firma again after life on the rolling ocean!"

Tinny and garrulous, this trivial Twickenham potboiler manages to feel studio-bound despite being attractively mounted against a picturesque backdrop of rural England in summer.

An interesting cast are not seen at their best, with a (relatively) young Margaret Rutherford fleetingly flitting in and out of the action and an almost unrecognisable Jack Hawkins giving no hint of the actor he would later become. Gordon Harker was of course never young.
