There is also fashion designer Viv who turns up with her boyfriend Tom, who has a history with John, and Dan, who knows Tracy.

Reception

David Stratton in Variety called it "a familiar but entertaining and well-acted comedy-drama... diverting, low-scale entertainment, thanks mainly to the excellent performances, with the women especially good. "[3]
