This rambling but rather enjoyable comedy is described by its director Richard Eyre as a latter-day It Happened One Night, although any connections with that vintage romantic journey are as loose as those in the title. A feminist seeking a co-driver to Austria ends up with Harry, who says he's a vegetarian, non-smoking, mechanically-minded homosexual. Against her better judgement, she accepts him. And she's wrong: any experienced cinemagoer could have told her several days in advance that the only one of Harry's `qualifications' that's genuine is that he can drive a car (just). What happens from there on in contains a number of lightly amusing moments before journey's end. Lindsay Duncan is attractive although not terribly convincing as Sally; Stephen Rea, who subsequently starred in The Crying Game, is pretty good as the lugubrious Harry.
