Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
JM Barrie's comic war-horse trotted out again for More's resourceful butler to teach his shipwrecked betters the ropes of surviving with grace. It actually worked better as a musical in the 1934 Hollywood version, We're Not Dressing, with Bing Crosby, Carole Lombard, and Burns and Allen.Author: PT

- Posted on Aug 21 2007 14:07 I find it unbelievable that this film is always under-rated. I think it's excellent. I love the silly bits of humour by the aristocratic family. I think it's a true classic
