Orders Is Orders is a 1933 British comedy film[1] starring Charlotte Greenwood, James Gleason and Cyril Maude about an American film crew who move into a British army barracks to start making a film, much to the commander's horror.
Much of the film concerns the interaction between the American crew and the British officers.
It was shot at the Lime Grove Studios in London with sets designed by the art director Alfred Junge.
In The New York Times, Mordaunt Hall called the film, "a tepid farce...It is an adaptation of a minor stage work written by Ian Hay and Anthony Armstrong, and the wonder is that the producers, Gaumont-British, thought it worthy of such an excellent company of players.
On the credit side of this piece of buffoonery and punning there are the interesting glimpses in a military barracks, splendid photography and sound recording and good-natured work by the cast.
