London has shed much of its smugness, much of the arrogance that often went with the stamp of privilege, much of its false pride-the kind that long kept it shabby and shopworn in physical fact and spirit.

The viewer can be forgiven if she becomes a victim of another deadly sin-pride-at having a family who, no matter what their vagaries, must seem to be the epitome of middle-class morality compared to the atrocity-ridden citizens of World, Search for Tomorrow, Love of Life, and Guiding Light...
