The city life of Bill and Brenda and its encumbrances - crime, congestion, obesity - is beautifully contrasted with the healthy, blissful existence of John and Joan in the idyllic village of Little Bethel in this charming juxtaposition of urban and rural life. When the urbanites visit the "country bumpkins", all their problems seem to disappear, and we cannot help but feel that the key to happiness lies in the simplicity of pious village life in this modern-day Bethlehem.
