Yes, Madam?

Yes, Madam? is a 1938 British musical comedy film directed by Norman Lee and starring Bobby Howes, Diana Churchill and Wylie Watson.[1]

The film was adapted from a play by K.R.G. Browne, itself based on a novel by the same author.[2] The film was shot at Elstree Studios,[3] with sets designed by the art director Cedric Dawe.

Two cousins, Billy Quinton and Sally Gaunt, have to spend a month in service to qualify for an inheritance from an eccentric uncle. They find themselves in the same household, as valet/chauffeur and as maid, where they are tracked down by their arch-enemy Tony Tolliver, who will get the money should either of the cousins fail in their task by getting the sack. Tony therefore tries various schemes to get them sacked – succeeding, but still failing to get the legacy.[2]

Set pieces taken from the stage production included a scene with a 'sloshed Emney',[4] Czecho-Slovakian Love - "Here beneath the white lights gleaming above" (Pansy and Bill) and 'Yes, Madam' - "I'm in love, I confess" (Bill and Sally).[5]
