Comment
In post world war 2 England a couple (Joan Greenwood and Nigel Patrick) with a young son and having to share a house with another couple (Derek Farr and Helen Cherry) who have a young daughter and an attractive young young lodger (Audrey Hepburn). In an attempt to try and keep a nanny, they tell her that both children belong to one couple creating various situations. The film suffers from being a quite stage bound as it is based on stage play and the script and comedy are weak. The film is notable for a small early performance from Audrey Hepburn.
