'The Water Gipsies' is a 1932 British, low-budget "quota quickie" drama film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Ann Todd, Sari Maritza and Ian Hunter. It is an adaptation of the 1930 novel 'The Water Gipsies' by A.P. Herbert. The film was made at Beaconsfield Studios. Vivian Ellis worked as the film's composer, and later used some of the music in the 1955 stage musical adaptation of the novel.
The film also features a 22 year old Raymond Raikes in the role of sozzled Bertie Peach at the party.
Raikes went on to become England's most celebrated director and producer of classical radio drama and the first to broadcast drama in stereo.
