Googie Withers has just cut a big deal in Sweden, but British monetary regulations so limit the amount of money that British subjects can take out of the country that she cannot pay her hotel bill. Her enormously wealthy ex-husband, John McCallum, is also in Sweden, but the same regulations have him locked out of his hotel room and flat broke.
Amusing comedy about an assortment of British travellers stranded in Sweden during the era when there were severe restrictions on how much money you could take out of the UK. While waiting anxiously for a ship, they become increasingly desperate in their efforts to acquire money in order to tide them over until they can get back to Britain.
A generally unremarkable British comedy, it is however not too poorly done in itself, with a few amusing bits. Yolande Donlan is the perfect choice to play her character: she adds some sparks with her liveliness, and also to its virtue, the film begins with a montage sequence that provides a feel for the setting quite well.
