Featured review
The usual grotesque, studio-bound shenanigans with 'daughter' Kitty McShane (described by her latest admirer as "a nice kid") bringing home her latest portly, middle-aged 'sweetheart' under the beady eye of her garrulous mother; who at one point turns to confide in the audience on a scene featuring Patricia Laffan in an amusing breach of the fourth wall.
Shot during the war but released after it, the only nod towards current events is the chorus girls dressed as land girls when her latest beau serenades her to a ditty entitled 'Let's Pretend We're Sweethearts'. The action then moves to the usual swank mansion (were Wally Patch looks more like a bouncer than a butler) targeted by the usual gang of crooks for a very thirties conclusion.
