Jack Hulbert is Jack Warrender in Jack of All Trades. A spoof of Big
Business, 1930s style, the film begins as Jack ends a long spell of
unemployment by taking a waiter's job at a fancy society reception.
Because he's decked out in a tuxedo, Jack is assumed to be one of the
guests, and before long everyone is convinced that he's a financial
wizard (it's a lot more believable than it sounds!) Unable to reveal his true
identity, Jack reluctantly accepts a chairmanship at a bank, and through a
series of lucky breaks he manages to save the institution from ruin and
enrich himself in the process. It stands to reason that Jack also wins the
girl (Gina Malo), who would have loved him even if he'd remained a
waiter. Jack of All Trades was co-directed by Hulbert and future Disney
Studio fixture Robert Stevenson.
