This lighthearted romance was produced as a “second feature” (B-movie) by ACT Films, with a script written by A.P. Dearsley, who adapted it directly from his own 1953 stage play, It Won’t Be a Stylish Marriage.
Three bachelor brothers – Alf (Jerry Desmonde), Cedric (C. Denier Warren) and Will (Mark Daly) – run a local tobacconist shop.
Their predictable, quiet lives are turned upside down when they inherit a fortune – and with it, an orphaned baby girl named Pamela.
The bumbling trio decide to raise the little girl on their own.
After cycling through a disastrous string of housekeepers, they find stability with Mrs Matthews (Olive Sloane), who steps in to help run the household while the brothers run the shop.
The film jumps ahead to Pamela’s 21st birthday.
She has grown into a beautiful but wayward young woman (Pauline Stroud), and the overprotective bachelors attempt to control her life – awkwardly arranging a suitable romance for their ward.
Chaos ensues when Pamela is pursued by car-stealing spiv Tim Barton (Peter Hammond).
Released in the US as Her Three Bachelors.
