The
Daily Telegraph said "Slickly produced, informative in explanation of shortages, the "Grumblens" strike a naive patch here and there: the propaganda gets preachy. On the whole, however, it is... to sum up: a good job." ''Smith's Weekly'' said "Wilfrid Thomas delivers his homily to the selfish couple with good effect, the comedy scenes are refreshing, and the picture may do some good to those people who complain that the war has deprived them of what are really non-essentials in life." Other war shorts for the Australian government from
Commonwealth Film Laboratories included: •
Australia Has Wings (1941) • ''It's the Navy'' (1941) •
Forgotten Men (1942) - directed by
Ralph Smart •
Back to Attack (1943) ==References==
