...picture was filmed. It tells the tale of a rough but appealing seaman who returns from two years of duty to learn that his doll of a wife has set up housekeeping with an unhappily married bus-driver; and it builds to a riotous climax in the Red Lion pub...
James Booth is attractive and forceful as the young cuckold. U.S. audiences will recognize Murray Melvin from his fine work as a star in A Taste of Honey, but most of the cast are unfamiliar.

He recalled more relaxed moments pub-crawling and nightclubbing. Box of Chocolates. After London, there was Paris. Wynne gaily showed the Russian around Fontainebleau, Versailles, the Lido and the Moulin Rouge-and willingly picked up the tab. Penkovsky handed over 15 more rolls of film and had five sessions with Western intelligence agents. On occasions when Wynne...
