Bell-Bottom George

George Hoy Booth, married and carried a ukulele and put on a DJ and so became the star we should all know? Well done Mrs F.

He's a fine actor when in the mood to sing and entertain. He joined up ENSA in WW2 did George Formby (Jnr.) and was used to entertain and motivate the troops. The film an appropriate vehicle for his know skills? Certainly.

It is a period piece to be watched by fans or those still wondering how the hell the Germans lost the war? The spirit of Britishness and the stiff upper lip is all there. Try watching it, even a darling dog helps betray some dodgy characters. probably the doggie carries the film!

Our late and great parents stoicism and indomitable spirit is there to see. That they found a cure for depression of war and staving to death by laughing in the face of Lord Haw Haw et al.

George Formby, Norman Wisdom, Benny Hill - we British have been blessed!
