So This Is London (1930 film)

So This Is London is a 1930 British comedy film directed by John Blystone. It stars Laughton & Lauri, and Robertson Hare. The film is based on the play of the same name by Arthur Rose and Douglas Furber. The plot revolves around the cultural clashes and comedic misunderstandings that arise when an American businessman, Hiram Draper, visits London and encounters a wealthy, but eccentric, English family. He is initially skeptical and critical of British customs but slowly begins to appreciate and understand them. The film is notable for its satirical portrayal of both American and British stereotypes. It was an early example of a "fish out of water" comedy and was generally well-received at the time of its release.
