Scarcely a petal of each play is preserved-an air of one, a snatch of another -but the writers of the script (Gilliat worked with Leslie Baily, whose Gilbert & Sullivan Book was a 1952 bestseller) have deftly wired them all together to make a charming, if slightly artificial musical forget-me-not. Some of the charm is due to the spirited stuffiness of the Victorian settings and the muted Technicolor.
