A slightly restrained Hulbert

Warning: Spoilers
An introductory title states that this is the second of three versions. This is incorrect since the most famous version is Oh Mr Porter made in 1937 starring Will Hay, and directed by Marcel Varnel and also the best.

Hulbert is more restrained than in years. Courtneidge is playing a character part so she doesn't get the chance to chew the scenery.

The original story was written by Arnold Ridley of Dads Army fame. Sadly he didn't get much benefit from this as he was made bankrupt and had to sell the rights to his plays.

I have seen The Wrecker and whilst it is not immediately to mind I would guess that some of the scenes from that film were reused bin this film.
