Excellent, sweet, romantic comedy, 6 September 1999
10/10
Author: Holly (aromatic@ivillage.com) from NYC, NY

Perhaps the most charming movie I have ever seen. So beautifully filmed and mirthfully realized. Wendy Hiller & Roger Livesey are both brilliant and irrepressible. The Scot spirit is most beautifully realized. From start to finish, one of the most enjoyable viewings I've ever had.
