The Powell & Pressburger Pages Dedicated to the work of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and all the other people, both actors and technicians who helped them make those wonderful films. A lot of the documents have been sent to me or have come from other web sites. The name of the web site is given where known. If I have unintentionally included an image or document that is copyrighted or that I shouldn't have done then please email me and I'll remove it. I make no money from this site, it's purely for the love of the films. [Any comments are by me (Steve Crook) and other members of the email list]

Slow and sloppy servant-girl romance that just goes on and on. Feeble entertainment.

Lift-boy Esmond Knight falls in love with servant-girl Margaret Lockwood. He takes her to a bachelor flat, the bachelor returns and gets annoyed, they land in a police court, and Margaret's employer pops up in a fairy-godmother guise to save them.

Neither of the two principals acts very convincingly. The best performance of a weak bunch is that of Henry Mollinson as Miss Lockwood's drunken but kind-hearted employer.
