There is something almost "Mr.Chips" about Richard Hearne's performance in this episodic comedy about a convict released, after a very long stretch, into the rather unwelcoming arms of his well-to-do daughter (Ellen Pollock). She arranges to accommodate him, but that means being locked in an attic room until she can find somewhere obscure to put him. He is a mischievous old soul, and is soon causing domestic mayhem in her normally well-ordered house. The humour is gentle, if predictable, and it's quite an interesting observation on family and snobbery.
