Asking for Trouble (1942)
Director: Oswald Mitchell
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The Cheeky Chappie is his usual brash self as a fishmonger (bookie on the side) who finds himself helping a damsel in distress by masquerading obnoxiously as Captain Fortescue from Africa, whom her father wants her to marry. Fast-talking but not very funny.Author: TM
