What happens

The Middle Watch is a 1930 British comedy film directed by Norman Walker and starring Owen Nares, Jacqueline Logan, Jack Raine and Dodo Watts. It was based on a play of the same name by Ian Hay. (The play is mentioned by David Niven in his memoir, along with Ann Todd who had a minor role in it). The film's sets were designed by John Mead. The film was made by British International Pictures at its Elstree Studios. It was later remade in 1940 by the same company. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
