Love in Pawn is a 1953 British comedy film directed by Charles Saunders and starring Bernard Braden, Barbara Kelly and Jeannie Carson.[1] It was written by Humphrey Knight, Guy Morgan, Frank Muir and Denis Nordern.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This film has an amusing basic idea for its plot, but fails to be really funny. The script seems far more suitable for radio (the numerous puns and pauses make the pace wrong for a screen comedy) and the characterisation is, on the whole, weak."[2]
The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 1/5 stars, writing: "Britain's popular radio (and later TV) imports from Canada, Bernard Braden and his wife Barbara Kelly, star in this indescribably puerile and unfunny comedy ... Best forgotten, which it was."[3]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Popular radio husband-and-wife team in comedy that is just silly, not funny."[4]
