Michael Gough is suffering from writer's block. It's the life in town, the parties in the flats around them. He can't come up with an idea for a book, so he and wife Patricia Roc get in a car and drive. They come across a cottage where widower Ronald Howard is mourning his late wife. He perks up at their company, and offers them the place for a pittance; more, they'll be his guest until the lawyers prepare all the paperwork. He brings them breakfast in bed, runs errands in town for them, and is utterly charming.
You know in a movie that means he has a Dark Secret, and the married couple will spend the brief hour of this movie winkling it out. It's not a terribly involved story, but it is very nicely performed by the three leads, and given its short length, is quite amiable.
