Wissenswertes

Something Always Happens is a 1934 British romantic comedy film directed by Michael Powell and starring Ian Hunter and Nancy O'Neil. It was written by Brock Williams and was made as a Quota quickie.

Production

Scott Salwolke states that Michael Powell's films of this period "were modelled after the screwball comedies coming out of the United States... British directors often worked on films that appropriated their material from the more successful imports".

Powell himself names the film as one of "The quota-quickies that I made during the last months of my purgatory for the American Irving Asher... Irving had the run of the Warner Brothers' library in Hollywood. He had to make about twenty films a year to fulfil his British quota and keep his Warner Brothers' Teddington Studios running.
