The opening felt somewhat similar to "Mr. Chips," featuring schoolmistresses “Jenny” (Fay Compton) and “Miss Mayne” (Muriel Aked) embarking on a journey to Venice, with a stopover in the Austrian Tyrol. The latter proved rather particular, and after experiencing several hotels, their bus driver practically left them at a guesthouse managed by "Andreas" (Ivor Novello). His place was welcoming and mostly free of bugs, which worked well for both women. The landscapes were lovely, the interactions enjoyable, and the meals tasty – all within just one night. It wasn't long before a connection formed between “Jenny” and her host, and the remainder of the film utilizes the Alpine views and some pleasant musical numbers to portray a romance that unfolds gradually. Other guests provide a bit of diversion, particularly "Alaric" (Jack Hawkins) and "Audrey" (Diana Beaumont), who rejected conventional marriage and openly moved between rooms, much to the annoyance and entertainment of those around them. There’s a certain lightheartedness to it all – the location, the music, the unhurried rhythm – and as the story introduces some challenges to their otherwise affectionate relationship, both characters face choices. I've always enjoyed watching Novello on screen, even though his roles occasionally lacked depth, and here he performs well, as does Compton, contributing to a satisfying ninety minutes.
