Stanley Lupino,father of Ida,is an unjustly forgotten comedy actor.In this film,which he wrote he is a journalist sent to the South of France to interview a reclusive millionaire..He offers his hotel bedroom to the millionaires daughter to use to avoid her boyfriend,who is actually a crook,Gerald Rawlinson.Lupinos boss arrives unexpectedly and as there is no other room available expects to share the hotel room with Lupino.Lupino explains the situation by saying he had just married the girl.Obviously lots of comedic situations arise because of this.There is a lot of physical comedy particularly between Lupino and Rawlinson.Some of it a bit childish but there is a dinner scene which although a bit predictable is still funny.There are 5 not just the one song listed above.However none of them are particularly memorable when you appreciate that the songs are written by Noel Gay.To sum up it is amusing but not one of Lupinos best films.
