IT’S NEVER TOO LATE
(Park Lane-Associated British) |G Cert. [7s NEVER TOO LATE, which has a more conventional comic line, may for that reason appeal to a wider if less eclectic audience. After all, it’s the story of a family just like yours, or mine. They live in one of those typically postwar homes urbanely sprawled across a full acre of the metropolitan Green Belt. Indoors it looks as if it had just been landscaped by a crack interior decorator, but for all that the familyGranny, Father, Mother, two daughters, son-in-law, infants-finds itself (like yours and mine) just bursting out at the seams. Granny grumbles, father (who is a solicitor, in the City) hides rudely behind his newspaper, junior daughter is at the R.A.D.A., big sister has red hair and throws china around, son-in-law is frustrated, the infants bawl. At the still centre of this cyclonic succession of Quiet Weekends, stands Mum-I beg your pardon, Mother-who has just written the Book of the Month (she has forgotten to tell the family), and been paid 100,000 dollars for the screen rights. Should she quit coping and/or run away with the handsome publisher? Specially recommended to Mums-
: Sorry, Mothers — who have a yen to do either.
