Tired of their philandering husbands, three women hire three collegians to pose as their lovers.

SMH Staff

Sydney Morning Herald

The whole production Is full of crudities and vulgarities. Even where real humour does peep out, one has the uncomfortable feeling that the ice of propriety Is very thin, and that something questionable may develop at any moment.

Those who enjoyed the play Cradle Snatchers will, in all probability, discover that the film version meets with their hearty approval.

With or without the play in mind Cradle Snatchers makes a corking program leader that guarantees laughs.

The result should prove hilarious amusement for a great majority of patrons.

Motion Picture News

The picture is captioned with an eye upon the wise cracks, though none of them are overdone. It is moreover competently staged and as competently acted.

The Mercury (Australia)

[The Cradle Snatchers] is well cast, admirably directed, and free from the objections raised against the stage play on which it Is based.
