...word for Ginger Coffey, and at a guess most people put him down as a prosperous Irish squire. Most people, more's the pity, are dead wrong. Behind the mighty mustache hides a terrified tyke. Inside the classy tweeds lives a Mick Micawber who can't keep a job, can't feed his family, can't face the comitragic truth about himself. In his careful and intelligent novel, a bestseller in 1960, and now again in the careful and intelligent script he has written for this film, Author Brian Moore describes with horror, humor and humanity...

Through these stories, barefoot Mick was initiated into the code of the young English gentleman. Naturally it got him into a lot of trouble-when he "owned up to" his own school crimes or refused to "tell on" others, he would get extra cane. But for the time being, playing cricket in the clouds...
