Sadly not up to the standard he set in the thirties with the top comedy film stars of the day.
The screenplay is based on that eccentric actor of the fifties and sixties,Reginald Beckwith. Other contributors include Nichols Phipps,of the Wilcox/Be able films,and Mabel Constanduorous,who was a star of radio.
The cast includes veteran Tom Walls ,and a young Glynis Johns.
The problem is that this is the usual type of stabbing farce set mainly in a middle class household. There are various romantic entanglement,especially when a Canadian army private is billeted on them. He gets slapped by Glynis Johns and you know what that means in films of this era.
One can only assume that the play must have run a long time and been successful for them to have thought it worthwhile to film.
By the way there is a running joke about people bringing a turkey.
