Comedy starring Rex Harrison, Margaret Leighton and Kay Kendall. A man wakes up one morning in a small Welsh town, unaware of his name or what he is doing there. With the help of a psychiatrist he pieces together his life and discovers that he has not one, but a whole string of wives.
Rex Harrison is superbly cast as an amnesiac philanderer in this jolly romp from British film-makers Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat. Indeed, it is said that Harrison's performance secured him the role of Henry Higgins in the Broadway production of My Fair Lady. Giving Harrison a run for his money are Kay Kendall (whom he later married), Margaret Leighton and French actress Nicole Maurey. The Technicolor photography gives the film a very pleasant period sheen, while the witty screenplay by Gilliat and Val Valentine ensures that this light-as-air comedy is a delight.
