This colorful British comedy was one of the oddest on-screen married couples in film history, David Thompson of "Mary Poppins" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" and pop singer Petula Clark who is completely unrecognizable. They have been married for a year and chosen as part of a yearly contest for proven to still be happy wins a big slab of pork. I guess it must have been worth a pretty penny or shilling cuz someone wants them to lose, and utilizes the fact that Tomlinson has been ogling the new Hungarian maid, whom to be honest has been making all the men in town ogle her.

While she's certainly very attractive, Sonja Ziemann isn't any lovelier than Clark who certainly is a practically perfect wife, easy in temperament and having a delightful humorous way of looking at things. Tomlinson, looking much younger than he did a decade later in all of his Disney films, actually fits the role of newlywed husband very well and is quite amusing. But the scene stealing award goes to Athene Seller as the town do-gooder/busybody, involved in every aspect of the town's cultural goings on, and hysterically leading a square dance. Efforts to keep her away from the mock trial are very funny. A quirky little comedy that was a pleasure to my eyes and left me with a bright smile.
