Squibs' Honeymoon

Squibs' Honeymoon is a 1923 British silent comedy film directed by George Pearson and starring Betty Balfour, Hugh E. Wright and Fred Groves.

Both Pearson and Balfour were particular favourites of the British film critic, and later leading screenwriter, Roger Burford.

In his first article for the magazine Close Up Burford would write "Not long ago a film of the Squibbs series was reported to be on at a small cinema in a slum district.

'[2] Burford's comments help place the Squibbs films perfectly in British culture between the wars.

They were very much working-class comedy, drawing on a vernacular, performative tradition, but at the same time their "Englishness" is characteristic of the kinds of satirical comedies found in the novels of Henry Fielding and Laurence Sterne.
