The Balloon Goes Up

A wartime reminder that while working with barrage balloons may not have been the most glamorous job in the war they did play their part in the victory.

A type of humour very popular back then but not so much now, it has not dated very well at all. I had never heard of the leading ladies but they appear to have been well known in the music halls. The style of acting in this looks very awkward now, all bit too quick fire.

Not very funny to a modern audience but worth watching for curiosity value. Not many reviews so far but it can been seen in the UK on Talking Pictures TV who specialise in showing old films not to be seen elsewhere.
