Strange Boarders [1938] [DVD]

The movie starts with an old woman being run down by a bus and killed. She has no identification and a search of her bag leads to the discovery of some top secret blueprints, and Tommy Blythe ("Bullock") must take time out from his honeymoon to investigate this. He arrives at a boarding house and discovers the spy racket operating within, and is most surprised to find out who the mysterious "Mr. Smith" is. His wife Louise ("Heffer") tags along to both help and hinder him. All up a very fast paced movie, you can't even pause to blink! Finest performance must go to a young Googie Withers as Elsie, the maid, and the funniest scene by far when Tommy and Louise are struggling with her in the taxi, trying to gag her with her own stockings.
