This was the latest addition to my Margaret Lockwood collection.What a change to see her playing farce as Nina a beautiful Russian girl whose imagination races into overdrive.She is teamed with Vic Oliver who I can only describe seems to be a cross between an Austrian and Groucho Marx.Fortunately Vic spares us his violin playing in this film!!Nina always jumps to ridiculous assumptions before anyone has had a chance to speak and Vic Oliver is the glib mastermind of a group of layabouts who style themselves "The White Elephants" by their refusal to work.I did not recognise the actor playing Peter Pyke the no good wastrel son of a hotel magnate.
All through it reminded me of a British version of a Marx Brothers comedy although there was not a Margaret Dupont character for Vic to play off but there was the usual gullible hotel staff.I feel sure the producers were heavily influenced by The Brothers' antics when commissioning the screenplay.Yes there was some slapstick but for me apart from ogling Margaret Lockwood, I only found it mildly humorous.Comedy can so age over a period of 60 years.
