Quaint but looked its age - Cottage to Let review by CP Customer
Interesting war film from1941 with a cast of classic British actors and a twist in the tail as to who plays the villain! Regretfully at times the filmed looked very dated along with some of the acting, but is still still worth a watch in view of the talent that was to blossom from it!

Lovely film in many ways. - Cottage to Let review by CB
Beautifully played out drama. Serious subject in 1941 given a comedic first half, the second half a serious note to the bitter end.
The film was anchored by star turns by 15 yr old George Cole and Alastair Sim.
