Movie review - "Something Money Can't Buy" (1952) **

 This starts off as a lovely surprise - a look at a young married couple, Anthony Steel and Pat Roc, starting out on marriage after the war with kids, Director Pat Jackson has clearly done work with his leads who are much better than in other films - both gorgeous, especially she who is very sweet.

 Then things go wonky as the couple go off separately - not as in separate separate but spend tome apart - working for an agency. He's a chef with a food truck and she has an agency and all the relatable stuff goes. The film loses its way.

Still one of Steel's best performances, ditto Roc.
