This is a pretty broad comedy with some fun performances by Laughton, Lanchester and Newton. The plot's rather thin and really relies on the great character work by all involved.
Even though the characters seem to transform far too quickly for my tastes, you almost don't even care because it's so enjoyable to see.
Frankly, I'd almost recommend this film just to see Charles Laughton's classic facial expressions alone.
Obviously The African Queen owes much to The Beachcomber and while the former is the superior film, I'd recommend this to any fan of Laughton, Lanchester and 1930's romantic comedies.
