This is quite a fun poke at the most preposterous and inflexible aspects of the political system as Rex Harrison - a journalist - writes an article critical of the rather arbitrary and pompous behaviour of the Provost of the Scottish town of Baikie (a kilted Cecil Parker) after he orders the confiscation of a dog whose owner has repeatedly refused to pay the fee for a statutory dog licence (or the many, subsequent, fines). Add to this cocktail the daughter of the Provost - Vivien Leigh, who takes a bit of a shine to Harrison and the story starts to take off. It's enjoyable, with fast-paced dialogue and some strong performances from the three leading actors who go some way to enlivening their characters. It's far too long, however - it really does go "walkies" for quite a bit in the middle, but that said it takes a gentle swipe at the establishment and with an outdoor swimming fundraiser cancelled due to rain, it does leave a smile on your face.
