Old Mother Riley in Paris


Old Mother Riley in Paris is a 1938 British comedy film directed by Oswald Mitchell and starring Arthur Lucan, Kitty McShane, Magda Kun and C. Denier Warren. It is the second in the Old Mother Riley series of films, and is also known by its rerelease title, Old Mother Riley Catches a Quisling.

TV Guide called it, one of the most far fetched and yet most entertaining of the OLD MOTHER RILEY series...Daring deeds and Lucans sharp characterization make for an irresistible romp. Britmovie called it, probably the most amusing of the longrunning Mother Riley series...This irresistible espionage romp in prewar France has plenty of tired cooking and motherinlaw jokes but there are entertaining moments of energetic slapstick humour. DVD Times bemoaned that the film has too much reliance on Kitty and no great set pieces instead we get a series on individual gags which never build to anything. Sky movies comments that it is probably the funniest of all the Mother Riley comedies, this set up the longrunning series, after a rather moderate opener, Old Mother Riley, had appeared the previous year...Made in the days when Lucans reallife wife Kitty McShane still looked young enough to play his daughter.
