We're Not Dressing

About This Movie

We're Not Dressing is a curious blend of comedy and music, directed by Norman Taurog. The film has this light, breezy tone that fits perfectly with its yacht setting and the carefree yet chaotic spirit of its characters. Doris Worthington, played with charm, finds herself in quite the pickle when her high-society life is upended. The island setting, complete with some charming practical effects, serves as a backdrop for the antics that unfold. Stephen Jones, the singing sailor, delivers an engaging performance, bringing a musical element that feels very much of its time. The pacing is fairly quick, keeping the humor flowing, but it’s the interplay between the characters—especially with the aristocratic backdrop—that gives it a distinctive flair. It's a film that captures a slice of 1930s escapism, all while showcasing a certain whimsical absurdity.
