Head Over Heels poster

Released in 1937, Head Over Heels is a notable film directed by Sonnie Hale, running about 84 minutes.

What it’s about. Legendary British musical-comedy favorite Jessie Matthews chalks up another winner with Head Over Heels in Love. The ever-charming Matthews plays Jeanne, a Parisian entertainer who manages to get herself in hot water with the French version of Actors' Equity and is forced to take a series of jobs under a series of assumed names. Meanwhile, a romantic triangle involving American film star Norma (Helen Whitney Bourne) and gangsters Pierre (Robert Flemyng) and Marcel (Louis Borrell) spells big trouble for all concerned -- including the plucky Jeanne. Highlighted by six sprightly song numbers, Head Over Heels in Love is our girl Jessie's vehicle all the way, and never mind the "main" plot. The film was directed by Sonnie Hale, who just so happened to be the star's husband.

Who’s in it. Head Over Heels stars Jessie Matthews as Jeanne Colbert, Robert Flemyng as Pierre, Louis Borel as Marcel Larimour and Romney Brent as Matty, among others.
