Reception

The TV critic for The Sydney Morning Herald thought the central situation "was as light and idle as its background of discreet dinner dance music... Although the play's triviality was not enhanced by any notable show of wit the author has capably dressed up the little plot, with dialogue which consistently keeps the note of casual comedy. Most of the entertainment came from the delightfully relaxed acting of Wynn Roberts."[4]
