      Peggy Harrison: What about you having any fun?

      George Harrison: Depends how you mean. Back in Samuel Street there was many a time when I thought 'Why the hell don't they do this that or the other?' And now by God I'm them. If I can do just one tenth of the things I cursed them for not doing, well that's my fun...

    An enjoyable film

    It had a strong story and good characters. The characterisation of the daughter is a bit dated ! Surely it wasn't all filmed at Ealing?
