Heads We Go (U.S. title: The Charming Deceiver) is a 1933 British comedy film directed by Monty Banks and starring Constance Cummings, Frank Lawton and Binnie Barnes.[2] It was produced at Elstree Studios by British International Pictures.[3]

The film's sets were designed by Duncan Sutherland.[4]

Plot

Finding herself mistaken for Hollywood star Dorothy Kay, impoverished model Betty Smith poses as Kay in a foolhardy scheme concocted by newspaper heir Toby Tyrrell.

Cast

Reception

Allmovie dismissed the film as a "tired quota quickie"[2] but British Pictures called the film a "brisk romantic comedy of misunderstandings. The supporting cast do well, but this is Constance Cummings' film all the way. She's effortlessly glamorous and watchable."[5]
