Written by: David Lean, Anthony Havelock-Allan, Ronald Neame, Based on the play by Noël Coward
Cast: Robert Newton, Celia Johnson, Stanley Holloway

Noël Coward's adaptation of his own play, a homage to the 'ordinary people' of the inter-war years, is less successful than his subsequent collaboration with director Lean ('Brief Encounter2), but gives a fascinating insight into the events of the period.
