This reminded me a little of "Mr. Chips" at the start as school-mistresses "Jenny" (Fay Compton) and "Miss Mayne" (Muriel Aked) set off on a trip to Venice via one night in the Austrian Tyrol. The latter woman is a bit finicky and after two or three hotels their bus driver all but abandons them at a guesthouse run by "Andreas" (Ivor Novello). His is a cheery establishment, largely devoid of insects, that suits both women. The scenery is beautiful, the company lively and the food good - and it's only for just one night. Pretty clearly, there is soon a chemistry between "Jenny" and her host, and the rest of the film uses the Alpine scenery and a few charming songs to depict a slowly developing love story. By way of distraction there are other guests - notably the rather Bohemian "Alaric" (Jack Hawkins) and "Audrey" (Diana Beaumont) who refuse to conform to marriage and so openly flit from each other's rooms much to the chagrin and amusement of the other guests. There is something of the whimsy to this - the setting, the songs, the gentle pace of it all, and as the story throws a few obstacles into their otherwise loving path, we see both with decisions to make. I always found Novello a very engaging actor to watch - even if his roles sometimes left substance to be desired - and here he delivers, as does Compton, effectively for a pleasing ninety minutes.
