Overall, I would recommend the movie. It was certainly made enjoyable largely because of the fun (and very British) characters, and although the premise of the film (which I won't go into) seemed rather predictable, I'm sure it was far less so back in 1950. I found it pleasant and amusing; however, I couldn't give the film more than 6/10.
My main problem is that the film tried to pack too much in, and make things move fast enough to keep the film only 90 minutes. As such, I enjoyed the characters in a superficial way but couldn't feel any real deep emotional connection with either them as believable people or as believable relationships with one another or the main character (I don't want to give anything away so I'm being vague). As this was the foundation and the driving element of the plot, I came away somewhat empty.
If the film were 1/2 hour longer, so that more time had been dedicated toward building up the characters and their relationships, I would have liked this film much more. As is, it was fun but forgettable.
