Always a Bride (1953 film)

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Ralph Smart succeeds in giving this story, with its many unoriginal elements, a certain gloss of humour and telling characterisation. But the dialogue is not, in spite of topicalities about the Dockers and Farouk, sufficiently biting and for a comedy of situation the film is too loosely constructed. Terence Moro gives a pleasant performance, though it is to be doubted if such clean-hearted ingenuousness would ever detect a currency fraud. As the crooks, Ronald Squire and Marie Lohr are well cast, and their ripe, well-bred knavery shows up Peggy Cummins as a sleek but savourless White Sheep of the syndicate. Pleasant entertainment, but quickly forgotten afterwards."^[3]

Kine Weekly wrote: "Neither the story nor the dialogue is particularly snappy, but all the same, the principal players and the director succeed in giving the elegant, if slightly stagey, set-up agreeable veneer."^[4]

Variety wrote: "Neatly contrived and unpretentious little comedy that should make a good second feature in picture houses in some countries. ... Slow at the start, pic builds to an amusing climax in typical French farce fashion. A group of seasoned players gives an air of credulity to a preposterous situation."^[5]

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "good", writing: "Silly comedy comes off, thanks to polished production, amusing characterization, neat script."^[6]
