Spring In Park Lane has Michael Wilding an aristocrat on the lam lest a family
scandal ensue getting a job with Tom Walls who's a nouveau riche type looking
to acquire a bit of culture. He takes a job as a footman with only butler G.H.
Mulcaster knowing his true identity.
But Anna Neagle who is secretary as well as daughter of Walls suspects early on that this servant is not all he seems. He's way too well educated and cultured for one in his line of work.
This is one light and airy confection with a great deal of the charm of this film residing in the charm and chemistry of the leads. Neagle and Wilding had that in abundance.
Others in the cast you will enjoy are Josephine Fitzgerald as the severe Irish housekeeper for Walls who finds Wilding a most agreeable bridge partner and Nicholas Phipps as one of those empty headed twits who have titles. He's also the Marquis of Borechester the family title of which Wilding is a possible heir.
If you like your British films light and airy you can't go wrong with Spring In Park Lane.
