Heat Wave is a 1935 British comedy film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Albert Burdon, Cyril Maude and Les Allen.
It was titled The Code originally. [1]
A British vegetable salesman accidentally gets mixed up in a planned revolution in South America.
It was made at Islington Studios by Gainsborough Pictures. [2] The film's sets were designed by the Austrian art director Oscar Friedrich Werndorff.
Variety wrote "Plenty of old and surefire gags in this one, but enough original touches to make for pleasing entertainment. Cyril Maude... is a delight... Not too much music to detract from the story, nor too much plot to strain the intellect. Pleasing all- round amusement." [3]
