Plot

In a busy restaurant during the food rationing period in the wake of Second World War, three waitresses fall in love with the manager (Tomlinson), the garbage man (who is the owner's grandson in disguise), and the downstairs neighbour - while trying to stay in the good books of the ruthless Miss Bell, who runs the catering staff and is selling restaurant food supplies to the Black Market.

Critical reception

TV Guide called it an "uninteresting farce";[2] while the only positive The British 'B' Film was able to conclude, was that "at least the hour long Love in Waiting has brevity on its side."[4]

gollark: What if it deterministically deletes them after 5 days?
gollark: What if the note app limits notes to 10 bytes? What if the undo option prevents the operations you just did from ever being executed again? What if you can ONLY view the notes from the home screen?
gollark: I have a random trivial F-Droid one.
gollark: Maybe your app is just bad.
gollark: Plus, unlike minoteaur, it doesn't even have wikilinks.
