Quotes
Sir Gordon Blake: You know Sanders you're making a great mistake.
Saunders: I don't think so sir. Shall I run your bath now sir?
Sir Gordon Blake: No, wait a minute. I want to give you a word of advice first.
Saunders: Thank you very much sir.
Sir Gordon Blake: Leave me by all means if you must, but what ever you do, don't get married. Women are poison. They sap you vitality, They spoil your fun, they spend your money, they ruin your life then laugh in your face. Believe me, if I had the choice of going to my own wedding or going to jail, I'd choose jail. Don't do it Sanders, don't do it.
Saunders: It's very, very kind of you sir, but I'm afraid I've made up my mind. As a matter of fact I've chosen the lady I think might suit me and I'm interviewing her here today.
Sir Gordon Blake: No!
Saunders: Yes... er, if you'll excuse the liberty sir, I think women are all right in their proper place, and I intend to keep Mrs. Sanders in her proper place. I'll run your bath now sir.

Dated but pleasant

This is a perfectly nice, mindless kind of movie, something to watch while you're ironing. Typical of its blandness, the cad is Guy Middleton, the poor man's Terry-Thomas, and one of the women is a night-club hostess. Although there is no suggestion that she is a prostitute--indeed, all her circumstances indicate that she isn't--the movie more or less treats her as one. Of four matches, two are silly, and two are serious.

As always in this type of movie, the social details are fascinating--women's fashions (ranging from lovely to bizarrely hideous), prices and wages, standards of sexual sophistication, servants' relations with masters. The stories are not terribly believable, though--two men are nice-looking, two handsome, and all four, with good manners and character, fall in love with their assigned mates (all attractive women) quickly. Tell THAT to the Marines!

The script is pleasant rather than comic, but every now and then there is an amusing or bizarre line to keep your interest, such as the reporter's saying, when his editor tells him, "Don't let them know you work here": "I don't let my mother know I work here."
