FLY AWAY, BLACKBIRD

Good entertainment in the romantic field, with likeable characters, engaging sentimentality and diverting writing, which lifts the plot above the average run of the mill. The theme may sound stereotyped:- Irish Peter loves Austrian Nicola, Nicola loves Peter, but they are parted by Peter's career and Nicola's duty to her father. There are amusing bits; the regulation lovers' partings are handled with gay tenderness. Not over-moral, but not offensive to any but the rabid conservatives. It's a lot of fun.
