Lumee! More Women. Arthur Askey plays Arthur Pilbeam, who after recently being jilted by his fiancé swears off women and seeks employment away from them. He lands a post at a remote lighthouse on one of the Scotish Isles, here he thinks he's finally cracked it and can enjoy solitude whilst providing the meteorological bulletins. However, his peace is soon shattered when young Jane walks into his life, she stowed-away on his boat for she's searching for her uncle on a neighbouring island. Then Bobbie shows up after her boat was torpedoed, then another boat load of survivors, predominantly women, arrive. Arthur is beside himself, but worse is to come for all of a sudden they all start to disappear one by one. Could this be another Mary Celeste? Only in lighthouse form? Produced out of Gainsborough Pictures, this Askey vehicle is directed by Herbert Mason and co-written by Marriott Edgar, Val Guest & J.O.C. Orton. Starring alongside Askey are Googie Withers, Moore Marriott, Graham Moffatt and Vera Francis. Very much along the lines of another Guest/Edgar scripted piece, the classic Oh Mr Porter! this fun and breezy picture sees Askey restrained and the film be all the better for it. In truth it takes its time to get going, practically 40 minutes pass by before the additional characters start being introduced. Which means we are at the mercy of Askey and the delightful Vera Francis for much of the movie. But it works. Francis isn't an annoying child star, she has nice delivery and her role is so well scripted it keeps the film breezy. Her natural like presence appears to have a good effect on Askey, who is more relaxed and thus the comedy is more humanistic and real. Enter the support players, who somewhat understandably given the plot, aren't given much to do. Which is a shame because more of Withers, Marriott & Moffatt would obviously have been a bonus. But it is what it is and as the mystery element kicks in, and some sinister undertones sidle up next to the comedy, the lack of meat for the support characters' bones is easily forgiven. There's no real surprises come the finale, but one thinks nobody would be expecting that given the time of the film's release. So sit back and enjoy this fun mystery for it's one of the better Askey pictures. 7/10

This is quite a fun outing for Arthur Askey. He is transferred from the BBC in London to a lonely lighthouse to set up a weather station. Needless to say, it's wet, windy and downright dreich in his new home. Then in the best traditions of "Whisky Galore" there is shipwreck. This time, though, it's not booze - but buxom beauties that find themselves stranded and he finds himself completely bamboozled. He is soon awakened from his delirium of delight though, when the girls start to disappear. What could be happening to them? He starts to investigate and soon finds himself embroiled in a devious Nazi plot that could alter the course of the whole war. It's maybe a bit too long - it certainly takes a while to get going, but once it's up and running it shows off the comic skills and timing of this consummate professional as he owns the screen with his smile and his antics. The story is a gentle reminder of what made us laugh at the height of the war and though entirely predictable is still quite a watchable effort with a couple of nice contributions from Googie Withers and Moore Marriott too.
