“(OK) The best of the trilogy. Ante the best of thte 3 stories is the cruise with Kay Walsh, teneder and sad and comic and full of understatement. The firs sketch wth Nigel Patrick as the crooked brother is ok, and the last one with almost tragic Glynis is good but washed up in the happy end” read more
“(OK) First and less interesting of the trilogy. 'Facts of life' is the most tricky with the mischievous but loser Mai Zetterling, The kite is poor, Alien corn has a good hard ending and The colonel's lady is a good picture of a surprised patriarchal society with a poor happy ending” read more
