Quotes
Lord Harry Drewsden: Can you really make Tommy look like my uncle?
Billy Bowler: Can I? Can I? Ha-ha! When I've made Tommy up, he'll look more like your uncle than your uncle was. Now then, if I remember correctly, your uncle used to walk with his feet rather turned out and a bit flat-footed, didn't he?
Lord Harry Drewsden: Yes, that's right.
Billy Bowler: I thought so.
[he points at Tommy]
Billy Bowler: . Now you do that.
Tommy Teacher: Me? Right.
[he walks on his heels with his feet turned out and arms out at his sides]
Tommy Teacher: .
Billy Bowler: No, no no! That looks more like Chelsea taking the field! Do it with dignity, sedately.

Little known British musical

If anyone wanted to know what watching a west end show in the 1930s is like well in my view this is as near the experience as you are likely to get.It is likable and at the same time forgettable.Its humour and the performances are an epitome of the era.It is not widely seen,maybe because all of the English leads are long forgotten.Clearly trying to get a foot in the all important American market by having the equivalent of a modern day celebrity,Max Baer,in the cast.A common feature of British musicals of the 30s.However the best moment in this film is the number"side by side".It has clever lyrics and with the actors and camera going a whole 360 degrees whilst performing the song whilst moving in unison.A real show stopper.Worth seeing if only for this number.
