Fast and Loose (1954 film)

Fast and Loose is a 1954 British comedy film directed by Gordon Parry and starring Stanley Holloway, Kay Kendall and Brian Reece.

Rawlinson based on the 1925 play A Cuckoo in the Nest by Travers, the first of his Aldwych farces, which had previously been adapted as a 1933 film of the same title.

Unfortunately the players have not the ability of the Aldwych teams for this sort of material (Kay Kendall alone manages to make something of her part), and the film is over-extravagant without the saving grace of a logical art of nonsense.

Stanley Holloway, Brian Reece, Joan Young and Fabia Drake also work hard, but they, too, find it difficult to score.
