I WOULD BE PRIVATE

by Rose Macaulay ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 26, 1937

Possibly the fantastic preoccupation of the American public with the famous ""Quins"" will arouse interest in this spoof on the publicity, the sentimentality et al. The other side of the picture is imaged through the story of a stalwart policeman and his young wife who bore him quintuplets, and thereby thrust upon him the limelight of publicity. To escape it, they fled to the Virgin Islands, only to have the press carry their fame ahead of them. An absurd tale, with less significance than Potterism or told by an Idiot. But it has its moments of fun.
