One of the few low-budget British programmers to enjoy a reasonably widespread American release, Facts of Love tells its tale in one basic set in a compact 65 minutes. The film weaves three separate romantic subplots into an entertaining unified whole. An elderly couple (Gordon Harker and Betty Balfour) are at sixes and sevens when their son Peter (Jimmy Hanley) falls in love--twice! One of Peter's lady friends is naïve country girl Fay (Carla Lehmann). The other is worldly, wealthy Joan (Jill Evans), who happens to already have a husband (Hubert Gregg) A farcical near-menage a quartre is interrupted when the older couple unexpectedly returns from a holiday. Facts of Love was originally released in England as 29 Acacia Avenue. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
