Lady in Danger


Lady in Danger is a 1934 British comedy thriller film directed by Tom Walls and starring Walls, Yvonne Arnaud and Anne Grey. The screenplay was by Ben Travers.

TV Guide described the film as a vague comedy that refuses to commit itself to a romance between the leads while Allmovie called it an airy comedymelodrama...the farcical possibilities of Lady in Danger are played to the hilt, and the rest is good semiclean fun.Lady in Danger was released in 1934, two years before the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. However, there are some intriguing parallels between the movie and the later civil war, particularly the similarities between the fictional General Dittling and the reallife Generalissimo Francisco Franco. During the war, Franco was part of the Spanish Confederation of Autonomous Rightwing Groups. He later became the dictatorial ruler of Spain. In 1969, in a surprise move, the monarchistleaning Franco designated Prince Juan Carlos de Borbn as his successor. When Franco died in 1975, he was indeed succeeded by the prince as King Juan Carlos I. ........
