Guy Middleton is about to be discharged from the army. He sends his batman, Gilbert Jones, ahead to work as general dogsbody for his suburban home. Meanwhile, Googie Withers, whose clothing shop has just gone bankrupt, comes home to find this strange, efficient man in her home. She quickly comes to depend on him, but when Middleton shows up, tight, and goes to sleep instead of celebrating his homecoming, she dreams of a romantic encounter with Jones. After she wakes, she imagines the encounter was real, and troubles begin.
This British comedy plays like an enjoyable, if mild comedy from a Hollywood producer, with enough touches of Britain to give it a bit of distinction. Indeed, several aspects make it look as if Rank had the American market in mind; the music cues seems typical of American productions and the married couple have twin beds, standard in US production since the enforcement of the Code in 1934. There's little here to astonish the viewer, but if you have a taste for drawing-room comedy from this period, this polite, saucy effort should please you.
