    Average Englishness

    Most followers of cinema will recognise John Mills in this film before anyone else, and it is perhaps his presence which is the only real reason you might give this a go as there's nothing special about it at all. It's stage play stuff with an unhealthy smattering of Englishness and stiff upper-lip about it, surrounding a frowned upon relationship of the time - all of which looks outdated with a story irrelevant to the modern day. The script basically lacks the wit of an Oscar Wilde, and you could certainly envisage him in this day and age editing the screenplay into something that would amuse whilst maintaining the crux of love affair plot. Mills is decent but not standout, and the same can be said for the rest of the cast.

    • Quotes

      Mr. Charles: I'm asking you, is it a time to bring my daughter home, four o'clock in the morning? Is it, Mr Haughton? You're a fine specimen. You ruin my daughter, disgrace her parents and then come whining the car broke down.

      Mary: But it did!

      Mr. Charles: That'll do from you. Hold your tongue.

      Mary: But dad, it's the truth.

      Mr. Charles: We've heard that story before, eh Mother? But I never expected to hear it in my own home. I thought I'd brought you up to know better than to go gallivanting with the first young waster who took a fancy to you.

      Mary: But Father...

      Mr. Charles: Be quiet. I've done with you for good and all. As for you, what do you intend to do about it?

      Arthur Haughton: Do?

      Mr. Charles: Yes. Do. If you think you can play around and ruin a respectable girl and get off scot free just because she happens to work in your nightclub, you've chosen a girl with the wrong father. I'm going to see you do the right thing by her.

      Mary: Father, please...

      Mr. Charles: Shut up, you.

      Arthur Haughton: I, er, I. How much?

      Mr. Charles: How dare you? I don't care if you're the son of a millionaire fifty times over. His money won't buy you out of this. You're going to marry my daughter. You'll get a special licence first thing in the morning.

      Mary: Father, you can't do that.

      Arthur Haughton: Marry? But I can't. My father would...

      Mr. Charles: So, you're afraid of your father are you? Alright, we'll see what millionaire Haughton has to say to his son, eh, Mother?

      Arthur Haughton: You can't. He's in New York.

      Mr. Charles: New York or Timbuktu, it's all the same to us. You're going to marry my daughter.
