PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

MartinHafer In many ways, this romantic comedy is like the earlier Hollywood film, "The Lady Eve". So, if you like one, you'll likely enjoy the other as well.When the story begins, an old man checks into a swank hotel on the Riviera with a very, very young wife. What the folks in the hotel don't know is that they are NOT married...they are father and daughter and they are hucksters. The plan is for the 'husband' to disappear their first night together and for the poor wronged 'wife' (Peggy Cummins) on her wedding night to stand back and see what happens next. Well, the residents of the hotel were touched by their story and donate a lot of money to her to help her out in her time of need. The problem is that she meets Terence, a particularly nice guy who tries to help her...because she starts falling in love with the guy! What's next for this huckster and his daughter? While the film is never hilarious, it is enjoyable and worth seeing. My only reservation is that movies like these tend to make sociopaths seem cute or likable...and they are, in reality, quite evil.

roslein-674-874556 With boring actors and a dull script, this movie doesn't even pass the basic test of credibility. We are asked to believe that a con man has made a lot of money over a great many years with a scheme that looks very unlikely to bring in any money at all. (And if it did, surely gossip in the hotel trade or newspaper reports would soon put an end to it.) The film is full of details that accentuate the sloppiness of the idea. The crook at one point has a handful of false passports. He could not possibly afford these with the money he makes. At another point, the crook and his henchman meet another crook and take him into their scheme, even though he is very poor at what he does AND it would mean less money for each of them AND they don't need another man to pull the scheme off! He is only around so we can (presumably) be amused by his (presumably) funny face and accent. Though this film tries to belong to the genteel- but-naughty tradition of English comedy, it is neither, just clumsy and prissy.

jjghayter just thought i would add a piece of film trivia which may or may not be of interest to film buffs!. One of the stars of this film , James Hayter played a character with several children, as he happened to have 5 of his own, they were given tiny parts in one scene where "cash" Dutton is handing out ridiculously large sums of pocket money to the kids. at the end of this scene his character says " don't forget little Herbert" and passes a baby to his wife. as the youngest child at that time and only 5 months old i got my first and only chance at the limelight! i was a source of great satisfaction to my father that i earned 3 guineas!

Jake "Always A Bride" is one of those little-known but delightful comedies from what I have always thought of as the Golden Age of British Comedy (late 40s into the 60s). The entire cast is ingratiating, with that wonderful British character actor Ronald Squire a standout. Terence Morgan, an actor I am not always fond of, has never been more likeable, and Peggy Cummins does her usual efficient job in the role of leading lady. The humour tends towards the subtle and wry rather than the broad, and co-scripter Peter Jones can be seen briefly making the best of a supposed foreign lingo in an early scene. Also appearing briefly as a cab driver is Sebastian Cabot.
