Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Stanley Lupino is definitely good; he plays the part of Pagliaccio with real skill. His leading lady is charming and his rival in love gives him efficient support. To cater for all tastes there are some bedroom scenes, a small girl, a luxury steamship, some massed chorus effects (not very good pictorially) and plenty of excellent slapstick fooling. All these are woven in a workmanlike fashion into the story, which under skilful direction, keeps one expectant and amused. The art direction and the photography, except in the crowd effects, are good. A thoroughly good evening's entertainment for the lighthearted." [3]
Kine Weekly wrote: "The humour in this comedy lies in the absurd manner in which the conventional triangle situations are approached. The idea of a disappointed suitor following a bride on her honeymoon with the unblushing intention of usurping her husband at the earliest possible moment, and at the same time, doing his best to prevent the husband during his brief reign from demanding that which is legally his, is so preposterous that a bare illustration of the situation is in itself laughable. Coupled with this are breezy knockabout situations, and a pleasing seasoning of melody. The picture emphatically is good, popular, light entertainment." [4]
