"Molly" (Gracie Fields) is fed up eking out a living doing repertory theatre, so decides to settle down with a proper job as an housekeeper. With the aid of her fellow thespians, she finds herself working for the cantankerous "John Graham" (Monty Woolley) a retired politician who lives in a grand home. Her matter of fact methods don't go down well with his existing staff, so off they go leaving her having to dragoon her erstwhile colleagues in to pick up the slack. Urgently, as it happens, as their boss is hosting a VIP to a dinner that could get him back into Parliament. His young son "Jimmy" (Roddy McDowall) is also down from school with a gammy leg - and soon he is in on the secret, and - well now you have to watch and see. Woolley only features sparingly - and that allows the other assembled cast to make the humour work as the story gently unfolds with a few amiable sub-plots that frequently raise a smile. Not such much at the wit of the script, but at the way the gang mobilise their respective skills to achieve the desired result - and with quite some comedy timing, too! It is short, well paced and well worth a watch.
