Also shown as Perfect Strangers, this Alexander Korda picture was, and still is, a refreshing study of a little appreciated problem left over from World War Two - that of many husbands and wives, separated by the crisis for some years, who found it difficult to face the idea of ever settling down again. Robert Donat and Deborah Kerr give soberly-judged performances as the couple on whom the film focuses, but the film is stolen from them by co-star Glynis Johns. Co-writer Clemence Dane deservedly won an Academy Award for supplying the best original film story of the year. See if you can spot a wordless debut by a very young Roger Moore as a wounded soldier in a lifeboat.
