Reception
[edit]Kine Weekly wrote: "Farcical comedy, an unpretentious picture which rises above the limitations of its staging and produces capital light entertainment through the excellence of the team work and the ability of the director to keep things well on the move. The amusing complications furnished by the plot are handled with lively and infectious dexterity, and the situations which accrue combine romance and humour in most agreeable proportions."[4]
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Ingenious gags, amusing dialogue, piquant situations – these have been well blended into an eminently satisfying picture."[5]
Variety wrote: "Some years ago this reviewer touted Clifford Mollison as the best light comedian in musical comedy in England. He's now a film candidate of the same calibre. ... Plenty of hoke, but done in a class manner without vulgarity or slapstick. ... Distinguished settings and intelligent direction."[6]
