}}Poor Old Bill is a 1931 British comedy film directed by Monty Banks and starring Leslie Fuller, Iris Ashley and Syd Courtenay.[2] It marked the film debut of a very young Peter Lawford, playing the child of the main character, Bill (Leslie Fuller).[3]

Premise

A man sponges off an old comrade from the First World War who believes he has saved his life during the war, although this ultimately proves not to be true.

Cast

  • Leslie Fuller – Bill
  • Iris Ashley – Emily
  • Syd Courtenay – Harry
  • Peter Lawford – Horace
  • Hal Gordon – Jack
  • Robert Brooks Turner – Mick
  • Dick Francis – Constable

Critical reception

TV Guide gave the film one out of four stars, calling it an "Interesting conception for a farce," but concluded that, "Unfortunately, the idea is carried on much too long, stretching what little material there is."[3]
