This film is funny, well written and well acted but what raises it to minor classic, is the picture it paints of London in the immediate aftermath of WW2.
The vignettes of bomb sites, the local characters, society in microcosm and if you watch carefully, the sheer and complete exhaustion that people must have felt with regard to the deprivation and hardship of war.
No wonder they wanted to escape.
