Honeymoon for Three is a 1935 British musical comedy film directed by Leo Mittler and starring Stanley Lupino, Aileen Marson and Jack Melford. It was made at Ealing Studios.[1] The film's sets were designed by J. Elder Wills. It was the first film Lupino made after leaving British International Pictures and trying his luck as an independent producer.

When returning home drunk from a night out a young man (Lupino) accidentally finds himself in a woman's (Marson) flat where he passes out. Before he make his escape in the morning they are discovered by their parents and a passing policeman and forced to marry. They go through the ceremony but plan to go to California to get a divorce, and set off on their "honeymoon" along with her real fiancée (Melford). However during the journey she gradually begins to change her loathing of him.
