Love's a Luxury

British cinema of the 1950s was characterised by its utilisation of stage farces.Some ,such as "Watch It Sailor" with the great Peggy Mount are memorably funny.This on the other hand limps along from scene to scene and is memorably unfunny.Mind you someone must like it,otherwise how did it achieve such a high mark?The problem is that characters having bluffed themselves out of one situation then find that they have to bluff themselves into another.Frenetic behaviour is mistaken for comedy.Furthermore it is rather too long for its own good and outstays its welcome.Maybe on the stage it raised a titter or two in its time but here it just looks like yesterdays stale leftovers.
