       Will (Menzies) sings and plays at a local pub. He’s suicidal. Eve (O’Reilly) works in the pub. She’s attacked by a drunken patron. This is the story of how they rescue each other over the next twenty-four hours.

       Oh, London at night. That’s worth a * of its own. Another one for London in the daytime.

       Well.

       A romantic comedy it certainly is not.

       Menzies is terrific. 

4* of 5.
