Hutton affords some entertainment, but otherwise this mid-Atlantic production is best summed up by its view of the British climate as stereotypically dull and wet.

A talky, old-fashioned, plot-wise movie that's smart enough to keep audiences amused for a couple of hours.

Has such a numbing effect on the brain it probably should have been called "Lassitude."

In any case, a star seems to have been born. Certainly Lassiter is painless and periodically amusing.
