| Content |
A slow moving romance, with much attention to 1950s detail. Where do they get all the cars from? And yes there is some sex – all in the best possible taste! |
| A View |
I found it a bit slow, since nothing actually happened in the first hour except setting the scene. But there again others will have found this the best bit. Probably faultless in its way. |
