"Day is the full foghorn voice of old London…(He)
has a keen eye for the comedies of early 20th century social nuance…(His) London is a city of fast talking, sharp suited opportunists. The streets teem with prototype Arthur Daleys engaged in a constant waltz with the rozzers and always ready for a fight…Day's story is a long way from
the 'we was poor but decent' account."
