Thanks for the info, it seems that the similarity in titles is just a coincidence, then.
One interesting comment I've seen about a serious undertone to Wodehouse's books: At first glance, it does seem strange that so many intelligent, resourceful women want to marry Wooster, who frankly doesn't seem much of the catch. But many of the books take place in the aftermath of the Great War, where a significant proportion of Britain's young men never came back from the trenches.
