Critic Reviews:
- " Sourced from sixty years old material featuring spats, snoods and Model Ts but its themes of religious fundamentalism, pursuit of individualism and happiness, sexual tolerance and class are as current as anything on screens at your local multi-plex. " – Richard Crouse
- " Even if the material is familiar, even if it has been done well before, there is room in a great book for a new interpretation. " – Paul Byrnes
- " A timely update on a deserving classic. " – Vicky Roach
