(SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW)

I'm a fan of this movie, particularly from the point where Linda first meets Jim on the train. (For me, things feel a bit slow going until then.) However, there are at least three things about it that I consider to seriously defy logic:

1) Bob (Patric Knowles), a prominent and presumably highly respected local figure (apparently he's the second most important man, after his father, Lord Farrington, thereabouts), who's a married man, goes driving around in public, in an open-topped convertible (!!!), with Linda cozied up to him and with her head on his shoulder, and neither of them (although they've just had a tryst out in the woods) is the least little bit self-conscious about it, or concerned about who might see them, and that this is clearly unquestionably scandalous behaviour? Have they lost their minds?!

2) Linda (eventually) has had a baby, yet her doctor doesn't have the slightest clue?

3) Tubbs and Dr. "Bones" have just met, yet, by the end of their first day of acquaintance she (Bones) decides she's going to literally sail off with him the next morning and just, like that, abandon her practice and patients? Oh: And, incidentally, according to her, she's already packed!

This is a winning old movie, very well made and performed. Its dinner party (seriously from hell) section is cringe-inducingly riveting and compellingly heart-breaking (with an ultimately moving and poignant outcome).

For sheer entertainment value, I really love the interplay of the Tubbs and Bones characters throughout the film (and also enjoy those two characters otherwise), and how they're portrayed to thoroughly delightful perfection by Roland Young and Helen Flint.
