Mild version of Arnold Bennett's novel about a civil servant (Cecil Parker) who inherits a large sum of money. Hermione Baddeley, Sheila Sim, Dirk Bogarde. Lady Maslam: Heather Thatcher. Mimi: Glynis Johns. Excellent cast.
Parker is an official in the Royal Treasury who, despite his skill in handling the finances of the nation, is unable to manage a fortune he inherits. Mediocre comedy with an excellent cast, including Denholm Elliott in his debut.
