Dated but strangely compelling comedy

There is an element of risk in reviewing this, in that I can't be 100% certain that this is the version I saw. Certainly, it was on television and in mono! From memory, however, it was a well-acted, gently humorous drawing-room comedy despite what was possibly regarded as a slightly risqué subject at the time. The humour will, I am sure, have dated quite badly although it would be interesting to see again if only to recall some of the attitudes and mores that would seem so strange today – such as the confidence of one of the lady's suitors assertion that his English birth makes him the only possible candidate because "She'll hardly marry a foreigner, will she?"
