This is the type of film that seemed popular up till the fifties,dealing with a family over generations.Watching this film it is little wonder they fell out of favour.Richard Todd plays grandfather and grandson.The former part only lasting for about 15 minutes,the latter for the last 50.He acts like bear with a sore head.In the middle Joan Greenwood poisons George Cole.If shed have taken it herself the film could have been a British feature.
