I know Alec Guinness has a lot of fans. For me he's a little too twee, too smug, too ethereal. This isn't a bad film. It helps his character has some get up and go. Ronald Neame directs with aplomb and Glynis Johns is sexy and greedy. Petula Clark is the dim ever loving young thing Guinness goes off with at the end. More could've been done with Valerie Hobson's aristocrat.
Not an Ealing Film, made by Rank.
