Asking for Trouble is an interesting blend of comedy and drama set against the backdrop of London. The film centers on a fishmonger who steps in to help a woman escape an inconvenient marriage. The comedic elements come from the absurdities of their charade, where he poses as a wealthy big game hunter, offering a nice contrast to the mundane urban setting. The performances carry a light-hearted charm, though the pacing sometimes wobbles. It’s not groundbreaking, but it has a certain quaintness that captures the era. You can see the practical effects in the clever use of settings and costumes, which give this film a distinctive feel of its time.
Asking for Trouble isn't widely available, making it a bit of a hidden gem in the collector community. It saw a few releases on VHS and DVD, but the scarcity of good prints can drive interest. Given its quirky charm and the unique premise, there's a niche but active demand among collectors who appreciate lesser-known comedies from the early 40s.
