Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Herbert Lom deservedly receives star billing in the British farce School for Brides. Lom plays Ford, the crafty butler of businessman Dick Lawson (Hugh McDermott). When Lawson makes a trip to Paris, Ford pulls strings to place both his master and his master's wife (Brenda Bruce) in compromising situations. He then inaugurates a blackmail plot, which in addition to being the cause of his ultimate undoing is good for several laughs. Originally released in England as Two on the Tiles, School for Brides gives evidence of being completed some time before its official 1950 British release date.
