Those who saw The Lady Vanishes will be pleased to rediscover the two cricket-playing English gentlemen of that film (Basil Radford & Naunton Wayne), who interrupt the plot's progress at the tensest moments to discuss devastating trivialities. This time they are upset about the declaration of war because it may make it impossible for them to retrieve their golf clubs which they left in Berlin.
