As a mere mortal and not a critic I have to say I and my two companions enjoyed the film. It wasn't full of special effects and bad language, the setting and costumes rang true and the acting was of the quality one would expect from this cast. Perhaps it was because we were more of less of the generation of Joan Stanley and can remember the threat of nuclear war we experienced during the Cold War period. Just wish there were more films which appealed to our generation, we have the time and resources to go to the cinema.
