While Parents Sleep
''While Parents Sleep'' is a 1935 British comedy film directed by Adrian Brunel and starring Jean Gillie, Enid Stamp Taylor and Romilly Lunge. The film is a screen adaptation of a 1932 play of the same name by Anthony Kimmins, which had been a popular success on the West End stage in the West End of London. Unlike many of Brunel's 1930s quota quickie films, ''While Parents Sleep'' has survived and is regarded as an example of his ability to produce a worthwhile film under the most straitened of financial conditions. The ''Time Out Film Guide'' notes: "With a couple of tatty sets and a bunch of unknown actors, he produces a witty, sharply-paced, economical essay on class and manners in inter-war Britain." It was produced by Transatlantic Film Corporation and British & Dominions Film Corporation. Premise The film is a farce about the romantic adventures of two young men with women of differing social backgrounds and the revelation of their true worth. Cast * Jean Gillie as ...
