Something Money Can't Buy

"This is quite a fun battle of the sexes style drama with Patricia Roc ("Anne") and husband Anthony Steel ("Harry") having to adjust to post war living in London with a limited income and a young child. It turns out that she has a bit of knack of finding the right people for the right jobs, and soon a thriving employment agency is consigning him to baby minding duties. Not to be outdone, he hooks up with some of his soldier buddies and sets up a mobile catering outfit... What starts off as a productive rivalry between the two, starts to get a bit out of control as tempers start to fray and... The casting lets it does a little, neither of the leads have much charisma with each other nor with the audience, but it's got some nice supporting parts for the gorgeous Moira Lister and the ever reliable Michael Trubshawe and his moustache. The humour is gently predictable and the ending never really in doubt - but that doesn't stop it being an enjoyable enough affair that raises the occasional smile, and probably rings quite true with parents of a new-born trying to juggle a dozen things at once."
