Hold My Hand

Eddie Marston and his future father-in-law, Lord Milchester, struggle valiantly and comedically to balance their attempts to save Eddie's failing newspaper with their rampant hedonism.

Directed by Thornton Freeland, Hold My Hand leans on a strong ensemble — Stanley Lupino, Fred Emney, Barbara Blair — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1938.
