This film struck me with it's similarities to Altman's Gosford Park. Both are in the same time frame, both deal with the changing social structure in Britain during the middle of the last century. While Guinness is very much the star, the ensemble support cast more than hold their own. Great to see Sid James in a relatively straight role. A neglected gem, it should be more available and not relegated as an overnight schedule filler, where I caught it last night on Britain's Channel 4.
