Catherine called Birdy

Kermode lauded this film in one of the final Film Review slots on BBC (pity they've 'been ceased'), and I noticed it was available on Amazon Prime.
   It's a comedy, with some coming-of-age elements, and some sharp observations on the way of life back in... whenever exactly it was set.
   We enjoyed it. IT's good, harmless fun and I particularly remember one line, when the rather ineffectual father gets drawn into a duel and says rather anxiously, 'Go and get my, er, duelling accoutrements', clearly not much knowing what they were.
   Well worth a watch.
