Double bill of Diana Dors comedies from the early 1950s. In 'Is Your Honeymoon Really Necessary?' (1953), Laurie Vining (Bonar Colleano) is looking forward to a romantic honeymoon in London with his new bride Gillian (Diana Decker). Unfortunately for him, however, his ex-wife Candy (Dors) chooses this moment to question the legality of their divorce. Lawyer Frank Bettertorn (David Tomlinson) is brought in to resolve matters - only to find himself in a compromising position of his own. In 'My Wife's Lodger' (1952), soldier Willie Higginbotham (Dominic Roche) returns home after six years in service to find that his wife Maggie (Olive Sloane) has turned their home into a boarding house. Willie quickly develops a bitter enmity with smooth-talking Roger the Lodger (Leslie Dwyer). Dors plays Eunice, the Higginbothams' alluring daughter.

Please note this is a region B Blu-Ray and will require a region B or region free blu-ray player in order to play. This second release of the BFI's pioneering Adelphi Collection, brings together two films directed by Maurice Elvey. Is Your Honeymoon Really Necessary? (1953): In this juicy, fast-moving bedroom farce - featuring a sizzling performance from a young Diana Dors - American Army pilot Laurie Vining (Bonar Colleano), on leave in London for his honeymoon, is hoping for a little rest and recreation. But his idyllic bliss is shattered abruptly when his stunning ex, Candy - saucily played with mischievous relish by Dors - unexpectedly arrives at his hotel, insisting that they're still man and wife. Under pressure to think quick and act fast, he enlists the assistance of his gum-chewing, wisecracking co-pilot Hank Hanlon (Sid James) and nervous, girl-shy lawyer Frank Betterton (David Tomlinson). But his troubles have only just begun. My Wife's Lodger (1952) This finds hapless soldier, Willie Higginbotham (Dominic Roche) returning home after six years hoping for a hero's welcome only to find that his home has become a boarding-house and Roger the Lodger (Leslie Dwyer) has got his arms around his wife and his feet under the table, while Willie's ditzy daughter Eunice (Diana Dors) only wants to sing, dance and jitterbug!
