Ralph Lynn is the idiot who causes havoc at a country house party in this Ben Travers farce. He's stranded in the middle of nowhere and persuaded by the lovely Winifred Shotter to impersonate her dancing partner. Lynn does a comedy dance that is funny but the rest of the film isn't up to much and lacks the driving logic that powers the best farces. Typically in a British comedy, the women fight over Lynn and Kenneth Kove while 30s crooner and sex-symbol Al Bowlly gets ignored. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
