For Better, for Worse

1954 · 85 min

A gentle, affectionate postwar comedy about newlywed struggles, full of small domestic frustrations and warm humor.

Overview: In postwar London a young graduate and his girlfriend decide to marry. Her well-to-do parents are not convinced, but they agree once he has got a £5.10.0 job and a 30/- a week single-room flat. The newly-weds find money fearfully tight, the flat cramped, the neighbours a trial, and her parents always hovering. Can faith conquer all? Is there some way of getting rid of tea-leaves except down the sink?
How it feels: Warm, light, earnest and romantic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, family, class, parenthood
Content: Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
