...clamorous Americans requires some audacity. Yet the attempt is successful because it is never strained and because each of the three principals has carefully developed a character. The Church of England is doubtless happy to be exported in such a complimentary fashion. It probably recognizes that there are few Anglican preachers who can get church-bound schoolboys to listen as attentively as Robert Donat succeeds in doing. Apparently, even the bulbous Dean of Gilchester, symbolic of church authority, approves in some small measure of his "live life while you live it" philosophy...
...good indeed. His distinguished manner never falters as he lets his hair down and becomes a surprisingly human being. Kay Walsh, his neurotic, ambitions, but basically good wife, is somewhat less successful. The contrast she must draw with her godly husband and noble daughter is difficult to define.

They live modestly in a twelve-room house in Hampstead, rent five rooms to a tenant. They have two teen-age daughters, one son by Mrs. Gaitskell's first marriage. Gaitskell has blue eyes and pale red hair, loves parties, likes to dance. "My dancing is notorious," he admits. In Parliament, he is sharp, often witty, but occasionally suffers from a tendency to lecture his colleagues like the economics professor he is. He disdains backroom political intriguing, is usually...
