Such innocent times. Kids were kids. Familys were familys. Thank you.

Lovely film. It just shows what England used to be like.

The shot of Brixham Hospital is a salutary reminder that our NHS was founded just seven years before this film was shot. It was also just seven years after the introduction of a State Pension.
