The first of three sex farces based on plays directed one after the other early in the war by producer Walter Mycroft; this one supposedly set in Ireland and distinguished by the presence of Margaret Rutherford repeating her stage role.
Set in 1936 and apart from the big hair and even bigger forties shoulders worn by Nova Pilbeam and Sarah Churchill playing sisters it still has a decidedly thirties feel. As a director Mycroft has a liking for vertiginous pans, which keeps it moving.
