No Lady
No Lady is a 1931 British comedy film directed by Lupino Lane and starring Lane, Renee Clama and Sari Maritza. It was made at Lime Grove Studios in Shepherd's Bush by Gaumont British, a company linked to Gainsborough Pictures.[1] The film sets were designed by art director Andrew Mazzei. It was popular enough to be re-released in 1943. While possibly originally intended to top the bill, it was released as a second feature and is classified as a quota quickie.[2] SynopsisWhile on a family holiday in Blackpool, Mr Pog, a mild-mannered man, is mistaken for an international spy. He escapes a brush with the police in women's clothing which he has stolen but discovers a secret letter in the owner's handbag. This leads him to a meeting with representatives of the country of Ptomania [a thinly-disguised Germany] who are involved in an attempt to sabotage an international glider competition. A Hitler look-alike, complete with fringe, toothbrush moustache, and wild gesticulations, makes a brief appearance as the unnamed pilot of a doomed Ptomanian plane. The film also includes a song and dance routine as well as a number of slapstick moments. Partial cast
