How it feels

A man gets caught up in a series of embarrassing situations when a young woman shows up at his home unannounced. The film is a fast-paced farce with plenty of mistaken identities and slapstick humor.

What happens

Rookery Nook (U.S. title: One Embarrassing Night.) is a 1930 British film farce directed by Tom Walls and starring Ralph Lynn, Tom Walls, Winifred Shotter and Mary Brough, with a script by Ben Travers. It is a screen adaptation of the original 1926 Aldwych farce of the same title. The film was very successful at the box office and led to a series of filmed farces. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
