You're Only Young Twice!
Ada Shore (Diane Hart) arrives at Skerryvore University in Scotland in search of her long-lost uncle Connell O’Grady (Joseph Tomelty), who was once a subversive Irish poet but is now working under an assumed name as a University porter. Ada is mistaken by Principal Archibald Asher (Patrick Barr) as his new secretary, and she goes along with the impersonation. Archibald and Ada fall in love, which incurs the disapproval of the puritanical Professor Hayman (Duncan Macrae).

Reviews
DanDare
A woman (Diane Hart) visiting a Scottish University looking for her uncle is mistaken as the new secretary. The students at the college are taking part in drunken revelries which annoys the college Dean. The new secretary takes an interest in college affairs and smooths things over when the Dean expels a student for the drunken partying. She also finds her uncle who really is a poet pretending to be a caretaker and also runs a bar on the side. Charles Hawtrey plays the Dean's pompous son who gets involved with the students partying. Ronnie Corbett has a small early role. Not much plot to the film and it is all rather shaky and unsatisfying.
