I Lived with You

I Lived with You is a 1933 British romantic comedy film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Ivor Novello, Ursula Jeans and Ida Lupino. It is based on the West End hit play I Lived With You by Novello.

TV Guide wrote, originally a play by Novello, who transplanted almost the entire cast for the filmed version, the main exception to the stage cast being Lupino, who gave a strong emotional performance. and the Radio Times wrote, its all directed with a teasingly respectable salaciousness by Maurice Elvey, but of much greater interest to most film fans will be the prefame performances of Jack Hawkins and Ida Lupino. and BBC Wales Arts wrote, this is a riotously funny film and Novello not for the first or last time on screen, operates, tantalisingly, on different layers. Hes always aware of his screen spectator in the dark, but dont be misled this performance doesnt reek of the greasepaint in the least. Its just that Novello has the rare ability to maintain a playful, ironic stance which many critics, even today, seem incapable of appreciating or recognising.
