Trivia
Feature film directorial debut of Jessica Swale.

Goofs
There are a number of key scenes set on the beach. At the time the film is set (early 1940s), the entire coastline of the south east of England was mined and access was restricted by barbed-wire barriers, all in anticipation of an expected German invasion. It would not have been possible (and indeed would have been very dangerous) to go onto the beaches below the cliffs.

Quotes
Mr. Sullivan: Bad news is bad news no matter how you tell it. There's nothing makes it easier.

Sweet and Sentimental...

An endearing and easy going tale of a cantankerous lass who gradually comes to terms with the cards she's been dealt when a wartime evacuee lands at her shore. Perfect Sunday afternoon family fare.
