Slow moving (read my book during the boring bits) but reasonably enjoyable romance. Worth it for the good looking leads and the frisson of their first kiss.
The usual outdated irritations of this period "Give me a drink" and other male expectations to the females in the cast plus Evelyne's annoying voice, which didn't seem to mature even after being "finished" abroad. Similar to our beloved Queen and the tradition that women sound like 6 year olds. (See Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy etc.) Helen Cherry as the rebuffed girlfriend was fascinating, sophisticated, poised and speaking like a woman.
Looked her up, Trevor Howard's wife who had her long patrician nose bobbed.
