Trivia
Henry Moore (1898-1986) was a English sculptor who specialized in works featuring carved heads and abstract human forms, the latter often in a reclining position. As his career progressed, Moore favored very large works, many weighing upwards of 1,000 pounds, and received numerous commissions to create pieces for sculpture gardens and other public spaces. By the late-1940s his body of work was often the 'measuring stick' to which other sculptors compared their work. The statuette (likely a replica) that Tina owns is an actual piece that can be found in catalogs of Moore's work.

Wonderful concept - inadequate execution

This movie disappointed me. It's billed as a 'low key comedy', but ends up being so low key, you wonder (with the exception of a couple of scenes) where the comedy is. Most of my disappointment, however, stems from the script - aside from the chambermaid and her brother, I simply did not care what happened to the characters. The juxtaposition of the two ways of life was excellent - but it's too obvious where the scriptwriter's sympathies lie.
