Bridget's Night Out (1936)
This was the first appearance of Lucan and McShane on film. Arthur wrote the sketch
shortly before the couple's appearance at the Royal Command Performance in May
1934; it was filmed by Butchers late in 1935 and released in 1936.
Old Mother Riley(1937) Previously Lost Film.
The first of a series of fifteen of the most successful comedies in the history of British film.
Old Mother Riley In Paris (1938)
Con West's second script for Butcher's Films, produced and directed this time with far
greater assurance, by Oswald Mitchell. Filming took place far from Paris, at Nettlefold
Studios, Walton-on-Thames, and on location at Gatwick airport.
Old Mother Riley MP (1939)
"Early in 1939 the Lucans made their third and last Riley film for Butcher's, Old
Mother Riley MP. The film was released in August and was a huge box-office
success, with Mother Riley taking the Mother Of Parliaments"" by storm."
Old Mother Riley Headmistress (1950)
"Old Mother Riley Headmistress, was produced for Grand National Pictures by
Harry Reynolds. John Harlow directed with John Gilling, and old faithful Con West
was back on the script. Here, Mother Riley makes the transition from washerwoman
to headmistress with the usual hilarious results.
Old Mother Riley's Jungle Treasure (1951)
The last film in which Lucan and McShane appeared together or rather appeared to"
appear" together because in reality their interminable quarrels had by this time
become so intolerable that George Minter decided to film all their scenes separately
and edit them later, a fact that accounts for the rather strange atmosphere in many
scenes in which Mother and Kitty seem to be talking not to each other but to someone
just over each other's shoulder.
Old Mother Riley's New Venture (1949)
By 1949 it seemed clear that the series of films by music hall to cinema crossover
comedians had run its course. Made by Harry Reynolds Productions and the Renown
Pictures Corporation, directed by John Harlow with John Gilling.
Mother Riley Meets The Vampire (1952)
Mother Riley was scheduled to meet a Vampire to be played by Bela Lugosi.
As Richard Anthony Baker wickedly put it, "One horrific figure was replaced by
another."
