Getting back to my hotel room during a weekend in Milton Keynes with friends, I felt like watching a movie on TV before bed. Surprised to find that the Talking Pictures TV channel was on the hotel TV service,I was pleased to find a film was about to start,leading to me meeting a redhead.

Later saying that his feelings on his last feature film (he directed some TV episodes afterwards) project are that " I didn't like that - I didn't enjoy making it, or seeing it." director Harold French does well keeping his personal feelings off-screen,with French & cinematographer Georges Perinal threading a elegant atmosphere, with the upper class life of Mark St. Neots allowing him to be surrounded by the finest things in life,and his love for redheads being held by French in sparkling close-ups.
Originally cast in the lead role before the producers got involved,Kenneth More still makes his presence felt as the narrator,with More performing the extensive narration from Terence Rattigan's adaptation of his own play, in a humorous,sardonic style. Playing not one,but four roles (!) Moira Shearer gives terrific turns as the red heads, thanks to keeping them slightly detached from Mark's whims, which helps to give each of the ladies a glamour shine, and to heighten Mark's love for redheads.
