Adaptation of a not particularly highly regarded play, which made a vehicle for Dorothy Brunton who was a name at the time. She's the owner of a pub who discovers she's related to an earl unleashing much class comedy. I'm sure this meant more in England. It Isn't Done dealt with this material better. Brunton isn't that impressive. Campbell Copelin is a funny old leading man.
But still it's of cultural interest. And it is comptentently done - up to the standard of British B pictures. It's the sort of subject that presumably Frank Harvey, who was associate director and adapted the script, would've been interested in - I wonder if he used some situations in It Isn't Done.
Oh and there's a zoom - I wonder if that was FW Thring or Harvey.
