Things Are Looking Up is a 1935 British musical comedy film directed by Albert de Courville, produced by Michael Balcon for Gaumont British and starring Cicely Courtneidge, Max Miller and William Gargan.
[2][3] It was made at Islington Studios by British Gaumont, an affiliate of Gainsborough Pictures.
Courtneidge plays a dual role as the sisters Bertha and Cicely Fytte.
A series of comical events follow: up-beating singing in a music class (leading to the composition of the song "Things Are Looking Up"), winning a tennis match at Wimbledon (despite not having as much experience as Bertha and breaking a racket) and trying to teach geometry (despite not knowing the subject).
[7][8] TV Guide called the film a "quite good comedy," and rated it two out of four stars.
