Featured review
Lock Up Your Wives And Daughters And Cousins And Secretaries And...
Isabel Jeans shows up to see Robertson Hare and Alfred Drayton, two officers of a rubber company with plantations in Malaysia -- the movie is set in 1938. She explains that she wants a job for her son, Patrick Kinsella. They agree, because either of them may be the youngster's father... or neither of them. It was during the Great War, and any of the soldiers in the company might not be coming back... so he gets a job, and begins to attract anything in skirts, including Drayton's wife, Adele Dixon, his daughter, Nova Pilbeam, and.... well, they can't fire him, so they ship him to Malaysia, under Hare's supervision, where he promptly charms a new set of women, and the entire cast follows for a reunion of sorts.
It sounds absolutely exhausting for Kinsella. Hare and Drayton are excellent in their banter; they worked together a lot on the stage, too. The script, largely by Aldwych Farce writer Ben Travers, has grown a trifle tired and rote over the course of almost twenty years of winking and leering, but if you're watching for the rhythms of comedy rather than anything novel, you'll have a good time.
