It's Not Cricket (1937 film)

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Claude Hulbert conveys the Ralph Lynn attitude to life, and his absent-minded vacuousness provides plenty of laughs. He is well aided by the rest of the male cast, especially by Clifford Heatherley as an elderly bore whose Wisden is his Bible. The young ladies – Betty Lynne, the French wife, and Sylvia Marriott, are no more than adequate. Production is undistinguished. There are some vulgar innuendoes, and the flavour of naughtiness is not always in good taste. A humorous trifle."^[5]

Kine Weekly wrote: "Amusing, typically English farcical comedy, the bright native humour of which is vested in the story's crisp definition of the term expressed in the title. There is more talk than action, but the dialogue is good, and so is the characterisation. The fun not only has a homely quality, it strikes home"^[4]

The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Unpretentious but amusing comedy trifle depicting hilarious consequences of fatuous Englishman's flirtation with best friend's French wife. Put over mainly in terms of dialogue, development gently satirises British craze for games, and introduces Claude Hulbert in characteristically asinine role. Pleasant light popular support."^[6]

Picturegoer wrote: "Rather over-dialogued, there is nevertheless enough humour of an obvious and homely order to keep one quite fairly well entertained. Claude Hulbert is amusing as a cricketer who decides to run away with the wife of his best friend, who considers that her husband neglects her for his sports. The husband is well characterised by Henry Kendall, and Betty Lynne is effective as his wife. A sound performance comes from Clifford Heatherley as the uncle of a girl to whom Claude is engaged."^[7]

Picture Show wrote: "Delicious British comedy which gives Claude Hulbert full scope for his own brand of humour. The treatment makes it into hilarious comedy material of which the cast take full advantage. It provides a bright hour's entertainment."^[8]
