Larry's resolve fails when he discovers an innocent former priest and now beggar (Hay Petrie) has been accused of the crime... Larry decides he will confess to save the beggar, but first he will enjoy 21 days of happiness with Wanda...
A decent film but little more. Leigh and Olivier give a rather soppy performance, though Banks is superb as the lawyer who has everything in his grasp but his wasteful brother could ruin it all for him. A little melodramatic though the scenes in Southend-on-Sea are excellent fun.
