    • Trivia
      Feature film directorial debut of Jessica Swale.
    • Goofs
      The film establishes that the action takes place somewhere on the south coast of England early in WW2 with the house overlooking the sea. In several scenes, lights are blazing and no curtains are drawn. This would have been in direct contradiction of blackout regulations.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Sullivan: Bad news is bad news no matter how you tell it. There's nothing makes it easier.

    beautiful
    The cynical heroine of this story is played extremely well, and every thought shows on her face. The rest of the cast are stellar too and it's great to see Tom Courtney back in vogue, this isn't the first recent film with him. The story is simple, somewhat predictive and some licence has been taken with facts - no blackout, people wandering at ease on beaches - but it's a beautiful story, and even on a day when the last thing I wanted was to watch a film, I was hooked. Highly recommended to anyone with a heart.
