I think I would have dropped the 'potato peel pie' idea from both the title and screenplay in predictable war-time intrigue. Not sure Lily James is terribly convincing as the investigating writer, faced with eccentric group of Tom Courtenay, Michiel Huisman, Katherine Parkinson, Jessica Brown Findlay and Penelope Wilton. With Matthew Goode, Glen Powell, Kit Connor as the kid.
Edited by Paul Tothill, written by Don Roos, Kevin Hood and Thomas Bucha from Mary Ann Shaffer and her niece Annie Barrows' novel, shot by Zac Nicholson.
Best thing in it is succulent roast pork featured near the beginning.
Filmed in Devon and Cornwall, with interiors at Ealing Studios.
