Reflecting something of the song
itself, the film depicts the ups and downs of Lil (played by Betty Balfour) and
Bert (Michael Hogan) over their forty years of married life. Gordon Harker
plays their somewhat curmudgeonly lodger Ernie. Its unchallenging, but doesn't
get bogged down in sentimentality, reflecting the realities of family life
during the period with humour, stoicism and occasional sadness. The majestic
Florrie Forde has a minor role and there are snatches of several of the songs
that she helped make famous in the film. IMDB. |
