Thank You, Jeeves (1936)

Very good, funny movie with a touch of drama involved as well. Excellent cast. The marvelous Arthur Treacher is Jeeves and David Niven is Wooster. Willie Best is a hitch-hiking saxophone player. Virginia Fields is the romantic interest.

Fields, being pursued by the bad guys, comes to Wooster's house on a rainy night. He, of course, immediately falls in love with her and follows her to an old inn where she and her brother are trying to keep the bad guys from getting some secret plans that they have. Lots of action and hilarity follow. One of the funniest scenes is when Treacher teaches Best to play March of the Hussars on his saxophone, after which they fall into the cellar. Very enjoyable movie with some top-notch actors.
