Review
The reviewer for 'Kine Weekly' wrote: "The tale is a bit involved but the characters, adequately portrayed, are briskly shuffled, its light relief is apt, the romantic asides are agreeable, and it ends on a lively, if hardly unexpected, note. Whats more, the backgrounds are authentic. Safe quota 'second'."
DVD release
