Slight, amusing and moving comedy drama spoiled by an unnecessary double twist.

Essential viewing
An outstanding film, with an excellent J B Priestley script and a typically brilliant performance by the great Alec Guinness. Using humour and pathos in equal measure, Priestley attacks the British class system in general and, in particular, the ease with which people are seduced by image and perception rather than reality. A word of warning, though. This film should not be confused with the dreadful remake starring Queen Latifah.
