This films dizzying array of introductions leads to a scattered first act, from which the narrative never recovers. However, taken out of context large swathes of the film are quit effective as screwball comedy, especially Barden's young hellion Jody, who, while being a narrative tangent, drives the films most uproarious bits. Overall this film provides an engaging but shallow experience.

Excellent adaption that chooses to emphasis comedy over the tragedy while delivering a lively slice of British life
