It's in the, erm, dress! Directed by Herbert Mason and written by Con West, It's in the Bag stars Elsie Waters and Doris Waters as two batty sisters who try to track down a dress that has a substantial amount of money sewn into the hem. It's all very chaotic and sprightly, resplendent with chucklesome slapstick as par for the course. The sisters showcase their music hall background to great effect, backed up by a number of idiosyncratic and ebullient characters. It's all very daft of course, none more so than with the blunderbuss finale played out at a theatre, and in truth the jokes wear thin after a while. But some comedy sequences do bring the laughs (sleepwalking on tacks, wonderful), ensuring this is not a waste of time for fans of this type of British film making. 5/10
