Denis Gifford in 'The British Film Catalogue' actually categorises this studio-bound but affecting dramatisation of the financial tribulations suffered by a returning ex-flyer (played by Don Stannard, later Hammer Films' Dick Barton before being killed in a car crash in 1949), while his wife wards off the blandishments of flush Ellis Irving, as a MUSICAL on the strength of the musical digressions that bookend it and sugar the pill of it's dramatisation of the obstacles he faces reestablishing himself in postwar austerity Britain. (The problems he encounters will be familiar to those who saw impecunious Douglass Montgomery and Dana Andrews suffer equivalent indignities in 'Little Man, What Now?' and 'The Best Years of Our Lives'.)
