    Best picture in more ways than one

    I found nothing wrong with the picture quality and little wrong with the film. Mary Wesley's characters are well developed and strongly played by the cast which includes Peter Davidson and Sir John Mills. In this unusual story we follow Hebe from outcast daughter to successful woman with an interesting mix of careers. Mary Wesley's female characterizations are wonderfully fresh and resilient, whilst many of her men are weak and hopelessly inept at relationships. As a man, every time I read this novel it makes me reassess not only my relationships with women, but raises my positive outlook on life. A great film of a great book.

    Easy Entertainment

    Light and easy, bit of a girlie film. Very dated and picture quality not as good as most things we get to see today.
