User Reviews

the odd trio

This i believe is a remake of a German film which also starred Renate Muller and used the same score.The 3 leading actors are an ill suited bunch and do not really work well together.Jack Hulbert is guilty of his usual mugging and it is as if he is playing to the patrons in the theatre gallery.5 minutes of him goes a long way.Renate Muller is rather chubby and a bit of a contrast to the British female stars of the era,Matthews,Neagle etc.Owen Nares believe it or not was the matinée idol of his day.He reminds me of a rather stuffy teacher rather than a romantic leading man.The music is tuneful,the plot inconsequential and some really attractive sets which would rival any of those of Van Nest Polglase
