I remember as a kid listening to, and enjoying, Cicely Courtneidge on record, and of the affection with which she was spoken by my parents and grandparents. One viewing of this film could destroy all that forever, if this was the first Cicely Courtneidge film I had seen. Fortunately it wasn't, although some of the others aren't all that much better. But this story of the Marvello family and its two "queens" (both played by Cicely Courtneidge)has to be the worst of the lot. It is woefully unfunny throughout, the plot is boring and predictable, and the musical numbers are eminently forgettable. Made at a time when the British film industry sought to attract audiences with American names, the name in this case is Edward Everett Horton.I hope he didn't make the trip to Britain just to make this film, because his talents are wasted.
