A squire becomes involved in local politics.[4]
Hugh Stewart who edited it called it "one of the very best scripts ever written".[5]
TV Guide wrote, "Not an altogether satisfying love story, it is more interesting as a portrait of pre-WW II life in the country. Excellent sets by Meerson and well shot by Stradling";[6] while Time Out wrote, "Saville carries Winifred Holtby's tart, witty exposé of Yorkshire power politics to the screen with breathtaking, and totally unexpected, panache."[7] Leonard Maltin called it "Smoothly made and superbly acted by a flawless cast."[2]
