Lovely time capsule film with great performances
I am ashamed to admit that the work of the lovely Nancy Kwan had previously passed me by, but after seeing this delightful film I will check out her other films
This had all the necessary ingredients of a good easy watching distraction. Nancy was delightful in the main part, naturally charming, easy on the eye and with great expression and timing She was ably supported by a number of British stalwarts; including a slightly subdued Terry Thomas, Jimmy Logan and even a cameo from Frank Thornton But it's Betty Marsden who steals the show with a beautiful and touching performance.
Great scenes of a swinging sixties London and I just about old enough to remember this kind of Christmas party! ( which we're always a mixture of fun and sadness, as perfectly illustrated in this film )
Thoroughly recommended viewing.
