The film was made at Teddington Studios by the British subsidiary of Warner Brothers. The sets were designed by the art director Norman G. Arnold. Unlike a number of the company's films from the era, which are now considered lost, this still survives. SynopsisThe plot revolves around the sudden unexpected visit for dinner of George and Margaret, a couple returning from British India to visit their upper-middle class friends in Hampstead. Their anticipated arrival plunges the house into chaos, with the domineering and snobbish mother, absent-minded father, high-spirited adult children and the put-upon servants all at odds. However, while most of them deeply resent having to play host to the unlikable George and Margaret just to please their mother's vanity, their expected arrival and the confusion it causes serves as a catalyst for the resolution of various problems in their lives. Heading for a happy ending, George and Margaret finally arrive for dinner, only for the house to be plunged into darkness due to a short circuit. Cast
