Robber: Come with me. I’ll drop you somewhere in the suburbs, untouched.
Baroness Teri von Horhenfels: Untouched? In the suburbs? Oh, no! No, that doesn’t intrigue me at all!
I rewatched this delightful farce without realizing I had already reviewed it here. If possible, I enjoyed it even more the second time. Powell’s pairing with Francis is second only to his screen “marriage” to Myrna Loy. Kay is the more sly of the two. Highly recommended.

I agree. Powell and Francis are a treat!
I finally broke down and bought One Way Passage which I have always wanted to see. They are so good together!
Eager for your review!
The rewatch is still on…
Complete hokum that would not fly if made today… but the two leads are perfect… tho Powell steals the show IMO, everyone looks to be enjoying themselves totally.
I think of this as a delicious sexual fantasy. Realism be damned! Powell and Francis made a fantastic couple.
