6/10

I've now seen it twice on YouTube

I would rate this 1952 movie as adequate with 6/10.Tonight there was nothing on TV (even on I-Player}, so I trawled YouTube for some 1940s British produced films but could only find this film which I saw again.I was 6 years old when this film was created and was fascinated to see again the almost empty roads in post war Britain.Incidentally 1952 was the year of the great smog over greater London and I remember an occasion having to guide my late father in our old 1936 Standard showing him the side of the road through the opaque atmosphere.Many families were crowded into rooms with their relatives, there being a national housing shortage what with all the war bomb damage.Consequently returning armed forces personnel had to adapt to certain privations when they once again restarted at their old peace time job.

Anthony Steele and Patricia Roc play the young married couple threading their way through this peace time maze and they have to earn their living while rearing their two children.Anthony has two of his army colleagues to help him start "Roving Restaurants" while Patricia starts up a domestic agency with the help of a girl friend.The results are good but they have to resolve who is to care for their two children and will their marriage withstand the strain of other partners and commitments.
