Betty Box said she was "very surprised Rank let me do it... because they were very politically conservative as an organisation. Perhaps they liked the Peter Finch character being so corrupt because, after all, he was left-wing. I must say I liked it very much...
Betty Box expressed surprise that Rank allowed her to do it, as they were known for their conservative political leanings. She suggested they might have appreciated the portrayal of Peter Finch's character being corrupt because he was left-leaning.  She also stated she enjoyed the role very much.
