Criticism
The story is so insignificant that most viewers five minutes after the presentation they would their problems, they should say something more about the plot than that Deborah Kerr is pursued by three men and at the end gets the right one. There are other details, you know, but who seem to be built solely for the script, because there is something has to happen between opening and closing credits. But even if the script is thin, his occupation that does not seem to care ... In her romantic and cheerful role Kerr is simply brilliant. It is completely winning, which they always do. Nevertheless, it may consist of "Please believe me" no big movie magic, but she manages to make it palatable. ( Review by Craig Butler)
