Four generations of husbands--all named John--return from four different wars to find their wives--all Elizabeths played by Anna Neagle--far more independent than when they left them. "Anna Neagle was at the peak of her box-office power when she made this curious postwar film, quite unreal and out-of-touch with reality.... Its view of postwar life in the upper social strata and its tiltings with the beginnings of the women's liberation movement--all in a Ferber-like framework spanning the years--make it a decidedly odd and untidy movie, but a real collector's item. The print is an uncut, stunning original Technicolor print, so it's always good to look at even when it's a little silly to listen to!" W.K.E.
