What happens
On Approval is a 1944 British romantic comedy film, produced, directed and cowritten by Clive Brook. The film stars Brook, Beatrice Lillie, Googie Withers and Roland Culver. It is the second film adaptation of the play On Approval by Frederick Lonsdale; the first was a 1930 film of the same name. In writing the screenplay, Brook remained close to Lonsdale's play but changed its timeframe from the early 1920s to the late Victorian era, when the concept would have been much more shocking.
