A Honeymoon Adventure

1931 wasn't exactly the year for fast paced popular entertainment from Britain or any other place and the smell of the greasepaint emanates from the script of this one but it still has a charge, particularly in heroine Benita Humes's flight from the heavy, who you can tell is up to no good. He wears a suit, has a mustache and smirks a lot. Fast cars on mountain roads, trains full of singing sailors and London open top buses.

Director Elvey was doing some of his best work then and while this one can't compare with SALLY IN HER ALLEY or THE LODGER, it isn't disgraced in their company either.
