[edit] Film versions

There was a film version made in 1935 starring comedian Jack Hulbert, of which five reels of picture and two reels of soundtrack survive. It was remade in 1941, starring Arthur Askey, with the story updated to the Second World War.

The 1937 Will Hay comedy Oh, Mr Porter! is loosely based on the plot of this play.
