[@Pattwon]

We all appreciate you're taking the time to upload this fine movie. Here is a plot line for your convenience: In this British farce, a legendary duel is destined to be repeated in an old house at Hyde Park Corner when the two descendants of the original combatants mysteriously reconvene. Based on Walter Hackett's play.

Gordon Harker strikes again. Thanks so much for putting this one on the Web.

[@brendabadih8855]

3rd time to watch this film. Each time it just appears. If only there were more fabulous films like this. When the Brits get it right the fare is exceptional. Thanks.

That was just brilliant! Made me laugh out loud, and the Acting was...well Acting with a capital A! Fab, thanks so very much, it was just what I needed...yuuurss!

What a nifty little movie. Eric Portman in his youth was a treat, and the story was good, too. TY for the Stable Volume- it helps a lot!

Delightful Gordon Harker especially in that ill-fitting 18th c. costume! This is an early Eric Portman, his name is not high on cast list! Thank you so much!

[@janemartell6922]

Thank you Thank you Thank you! Most enjoyable! A pre-Inspector Hornleigh Gordon Harker - great fun!

[@bethwaltz2607]

Gordon Harker is worth watching, no matter the year or the studio of the film!

[@zthetha]

I thought I had seen all Gordon Harker's movies so this is an unexpected delight especially since Binnie Hale - his co-star in The Phantom Light - frollicks her lovely way through it. And indeed some of these very old movies are infinitely better than today's big budget crapola which I personally find unwatchable. For the first time in history we are able to see moving pictures of our predecessors a century ago - and in a few years we will be able to hear how they spoke.

[@brianmasters1125]

Lovely film, there seems to have been more talent around in those days.

[@candacegladden5313]

Bloody splendiferous film!

[@haraldkoukkuluoma7823]

loved Binnie Hale ,she was charming and funny. A good old movie.

18:50 - Bow Street Runners were the law enforcement officers of the Bow Street Magistrates' Court in the City of Westminster. London's first professional police force.

[@nigellawrence667]

They had better story lines. Better actors. They had no huge budget special effects to help get the movie watched all done on talent

[@charliedontsurf70]

It started out as a very serious drama, almost like a horror movie somehow in the middle it turns into a comedy...............

[@ksr7271]

Charming movie. Crime is not glorified, people are not made larger than life, and humans behave as humans....those were the days my friend...Thanks for uploading the movie.

[@653j521]

K SR Pronouncing a curse then dramatically flopping down dead and the weather instantly changes and lights go out.... Yes, humans behaving as humans, if they had magical powers, maybe.

[@waderaney7]

A good movie!

[@DavidRice111]

Watched this again for the 3rd time. More fun than the 1st!

[@paulgrad5183]

Gordon Harker was an excellent actor. Maybe that's why Hitchcock used him. He was even in Frankie Howerd's "A Touch of the Sun".

[@nigellawrence667]

I'm so glad I come across Gordon harker really enjoy his films

[@philipinchina]

At this time all English humour, more or less, revolved around class.

[@tomatenpaprika6323]

The court scenes remind me of Den Hague Tribunal. Hilarious

[@dabedwards]

A very good comedy indeed! Gordon Harker is still very funny, and more suited to playing a put-upon copper than the wacky inspector Hornleigh. His "refaned" Cockney act is brilliant. The courtroom scene is a little masterpiece. The magistrate underplays to great effect, with none of the usual stagey acting that undermines some comedy from this period. There's also a surprising amount of sexual innuendo and vices hinted at. The time shift device is unusual, and adds something different, and does rather make it feel like two central ideas bolted together. Somehow it all works, and often feels curiously modern. Thanks for the upload!

[@reeritz1280]

Movie looks interesting, but audio too low. No close caption either! Impossible to follow...Such a shame.

[@MrUhwoody]

Plenty spiffy movie.

MG..OMG at 10 .08 she starts to sing

The voice of a lark.

Yes,if that lark we're giving birth to farm machinery

[@graemesmith6721]

Yes, singing a song that, shockingly, sounds like it was written in 1935 instead of 1780.

Political considerations aside, no one can swear by this book and swear on it. Matthew 5:34-37 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

[@hilaryc3203]

There are plenty of old movies where the characters and storylines do not focus upon wealth. Tons. This just isn't one of them.

[@EnglishLaw]

Hue and Cry 1947 is the first film that popped into my head as a suggestion

[@scottleft3672]

Clearly you know NOTHING about English history let alone its film traditions....get educated.....they are ACTORS and making fun of the rich....duh....BUT....we DO look forward to seeing you make movies about the politically correct lower middle class factory workers in suburbia...oh wait.....soap opera covered it already.....for shame....all you have left is GANGSTARS...btw 57:00....note well...the copper refers to the "far gwah"....as "not too rotten".

[@scottleft3672]

you too....missed the point.

[@653j521]

Hey Micky In the 1930s there was a strong emphasis on the sins and foolishness of the rich during the Great Depression. People loved to see a lot of cinema satin and grand mansions and dream about having money, but they also loved to see the rich acting like idiots to make them feel okay about being poor. WWII radically changed the public taste in plots and settings, wanting something to get them through those dark days. After WWII tastes changed again. 1947 movies are nothing at all like movies from a decade before that, just as a 1937 movie was nothing like a 1927 movie. You could say absolutely anything about "old" movies because that could mean any time before today as defined by the person who used the term.

[@graemesmith6721]

This is a very silly movie. They had no evidence that the killer was guilty of Howard's murder, so there was no reason for the killer to confess. Then again, they also had no evidence that Chester killed Gannet. The case against him was completely circumstantial. People are innocent until proven guilty. And there's no way they'd let Sophie go home to get those alleged receipts. They'd just ask her where she bought the things they suspect she stole, talk to the clerks at those stores, and when they said they hadn't sold them to her, that would be that. And since when do cab drivers take directions from customers? In the real world, you give them the address you want to go to and they take you there. And how does a butler refuse a police officer entrance to a house where someone who escaped from his custody is hiding out? The butler would be guilty of aiding and abetting a felon, making him an accessory after the fact, yet Cheedle never mentions this. And why wouldn't Cheedle just break a window and go inside to apprehend Sophie? He'd be well within his rights to do so. In fact, it would be his duty to. All very silly and contrived.

[@MARKETMAN6789]

This is not silly ,there were people with very clever brains in them days and they didn't need DNA and. Modern technology they used their brains to solve murders and to realise that if you import huge numbers of Muslims to Britain their will be lots of trouble ,
