Background

The film was adapted from a play by K.R.G. Browne, itself based on a novel by the same author. The film was shot at Elstree Studios, with sets designed by the art director Cedric Dawe.

Plot

Two cousins, Billy Quinton and Sally Gaunt, have to spend a month in service to qualify for an inheritance from an eccentric uncle. They find themselves in the same household, as valet/chauffeur and as maid, where they are tracked down by their arch-enemy Tony Tolliver, who will get the money should either of the cousins fail in their task by getting the sack. Tony therefore tries various schemes to get them sacked – succeeding, but still failing to get the legacy.

Cast

Music and dance sequences

Set pieces taken from the stage production included a scene with a 'sloshed Emney', Czecho-Slovakian Love - "Here beneath the white lights gleaming above" (Pansy and Bill) and 'Yes, Madam' - "I'm in love, I confess" (Bill and Sally).
