The Chiltern Hundreds
To avoid having to stay on duty in his army camp in Brussels, David Tomlinson pretends he's running for Parliament so he can get home to see his fiancée. His commander though ensures that he does do as he says.
Pleasant enough piece of British whimsy revolving around various eccentric characters living at the local mansion, including Cecil Parker as the butler and AE Matthews as the Lord of the manor. The film is worth seeing for Matthews alone who steals the film completely, doing a wonderfully funny turn as the rabbit shooting obsessed upper class aristocrat - he's great in every scene he's in. So much so though, that when he's not on the screen, the comedy wanes and the film gets a little stale.
