This is my first review for what it's worth. Since the only review for this movie was so negative I thought it fair to present another view. I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation of a postwar couple trying to get on their feet financially. The story is not dull and all actors did an excellent job. The husband, Anthony Steel, begins by doing his best to settle into a lackluster, low paying job. His wife, beautiful Patricia Roc, capably handles domestic duties and her two young children. They both are feeling the strain, living in substandard housing and watching their savings drain away. The pressure prompts him to quit his secure job to seek something better, taking him far from home. After hitching a ride he finds a mentor in elderly A.E. Matthews, as Lord Haverstock, who adds a charming character to the cast. They brainstorm the idea of a mobile restaurant, pull their resources and begin to work. Two of Anthony Steel's former military chums join in. In the meantime Patricia Roc and friend have successfully launched an employment service. Steel's business isn't taking flight so well. Eventually, the mobile restaurant is transformed into a catering scheme that becomes a huge success. It's a loving, wholesome movie with a happy ending. I recommend it. Yes, old fashioned charm that's hard to find in today's movie climate.
