The sweet devil in this movie is Jean Gillie, who perhaps can be described in this movie as a sort of brunette English musical-comedy Marie Windsor. She does two dances, sings a duet with Bobby Howes and incites a pie fight at a reception for a Latin American vice president in this cut-glass farce that was produced by musical comedy star Jack Buchanan.
I know my reviews usually include a brief synopsis of whatever movie I'm reviewing, but with British cut-glass farces, there's never really much of a plot, just a situation and comedy routines, and that's what's on view here with many a snide reply and a constable to whom everything is explained, which only confuses him.
The affair is directed by René Guissart, a multi-continental cinematographer, with credits going back to 1916. He likewise directed about thirty movies in three countries in the 1930s. He lets the performers and script have their heads and the result is a very funny little movie.
