Bees in Paradise (1944)



This is the first of a new series of old black and white films that I will be posting. These films will all have one thing in common, the comedy talents of British comedian Arthur Askey. You will notice that many of these films share the same actors.

In this particular film set during World War II, Arthur and three of his friends n are forced to bail out their damaged bomber over the ocean. Fortunately, they land on a beautiful island with beautiful women. Unfortunately for them, they discover that the women rule the island with an iron hand. To make matters worse they are pursued by the women, each of whom wants to mate. However, mating ends in death for the man, like in the bee culture. Since it is from the 40s it is very tame and very funny. Look forward for more Arthur Askey in the following weeks.
