Lost Honeymoon

Franchot Tone is "Johnny", an architect soon to marry "Lois" (Frances Rafferty). With the wedding day looming, all is ready until he receives a telegram telling him that his wife and two children are coming to visit from London. What wife and children, thinks he? A jest, surely. Thing is, he was in London so could it be true? Could he possibly have forgotten something quite that momentous? The arrival of "Amy" (Ann Richards) and her two kids throws multiple spanners into his life: his relationship and job are all on the line as we move, quite entertainingly, to establish just what is true! Tom Conway has some fun as his doctor ""Bob" and there is an always welcome cameo from Una O'Connor ("Mrs. Tubbs") at the start to set it off. The humour is all a wee bit predicable but Leigh Jason does manage to keep us guessing for some of the time; there is a bit of on-screen chemistry and some of the dialogue - especially at the start, is quite witty. It's a characterful film, not a memorable one - and I quite enjoyed it.
