I'm always up for any film in which Rosamund John appears, possibly because the relatively small number was completely out of proportion with her talent. In addition I always had a soft spot for Beatrice Campbell but here she is a complete bitch (until an unrealistic volte face in the last reel) who is a complete hedonist, quite happy to abandon a decent husband, who she probably found dull and boring, for someone who moves with a faster crowd, and is more or less content to let their daughter, Janette Scott, live with ex-husband Leo Genn until he remarries (Rosamund John) which is when Campbell decides SHE wants custody of the child. The film is quite solid on the psychological effect on young children when their routine lifestyle is shattered and the performances across the board are excellent with ten-year old Scott exceptional; sadly, as is often the way she was never able to come even close although she spent a good two decades playing leading roles in mostly inferior films.
