Hi all -

I'm looking for the name of a film which I'd estimate as being produced in the 30s or 40s. It was a vaguely romantic comedy wherein a bloke walks off the street into a business and cons his way into a job by confidently and repeatedly making reference to some urgent contract/order/project. Only at a very late stage is his confidence trick exposed.

The names and faces of the male and female lead were significantly promoted at the start of the film which I infer to mean they were a known British romantic 'double act'. As I recall, the male was tallish, with lightish hair and an angular face (though this is going back a few years).

Any help would be appreciated !

Almost certainly the Gainsborough picture 'Jack of All Trades' 1936. The male lead was Jack Hulbert - his wife and oftentimes filmic partner Cecily Courtneidge did not star in this particular film.
