I always found Ann Blyth to be quite a sterile actress. She had the looks, but was always just a bit too aloof. That style of delivery is perfect for this story of librarian "Katie" who is all set for a rather humdrum marriage to "Stuart" (Craig Stevens) until she encounters the live-wire "Peter" (Mark Stevens) who takes an instant shine to her, and who determines to break down her ice-barrier. Much to her chagrin she, too, begins to find this initially irritating man quite charming. When she meets a young boy in his apartment, she gets the wrong end of the stick but can he convince her of her error before she walks down the aisle with another man? Stevens, her uncle "Nathaniel" (Cecil Kellaway) and the young Jimmy Hunt ("Steven") are on quite good form, but there is just too much dialogue and the pace of the story is really very slow. The ending is always pretty clear, too. It's an easy watch to let wash over you, with just a soupçon of star quality from Blyth in her element - a sort of Jean Simmons-light.
