Sleeping Car (1933)
7/10
Pleasant romantic comedy with screwball moments
21 April 2021
Ivor Novello is the lady's man with multiple girlfriends who finally stumbles across his match. Yet, before everyone lives happily ever after, a lot of complications arise! If you're into 1930s romantic comedy, this will be a good watch. I was drawn to seeing this film specifically to see Laddie Cliff (who played Ivor's workmate). Laddie Cliff died young, and hardly appeared in any films. Yet, he'd been brilliant in other 1930s comedies (on stage and screen) alongside Stanley Lupino. In Sleeping Car (1933), Laddie isn't given much to do... except for in a party scene one hour in (where he gets to do some drunken clowning around). Overall, this film was quite enjoyable, with good performances by all.
