Reported cases of sexually transmitted disease took a sharp rise during and after World War II, but as this film testifies, sexual license amongst soldiers on the frontline wasn't the sole cause. Back on the home front, for many women, like Joan from No. 19, loneliness or newfound independence acted as an incentive to extramarital promiscuity.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
