Two Edwardian couples shut themselves up in a Scottish castle to try a trial marriage. A vanity project for has-been star Brook who produced, directed and adapted the script. The other actors weren't box-office either, the play ancient, and it had nothing to say of any relevance about the current war. Yet this turned out to be one of the most glorious comedies in British cinema.

Clive Brook, Terence Young. Only a true fan could like this one. The only decent bit is a chase in a toy car, and that's nicked from George Formby's Spare a Copper by the same director. Patricia Roc gets involved with Italian singer Nino Martini in this slight musical comedy. The script by Brahms and Simon just about keeps it going.
