Featured review
Another Nail in BNF's Coffin
Further evidence of the wisdom of the day that the British couldn't make musicals, this film has languished in total obscurity since it's original release. This is the first review of this film ever to be posted on the IMDb and it's omitted from John Mundy's 'The British Musical Film', published in 2007.
The problem is it's not even camp enough to linger in the memory. Supposedly set mostly in 1911, it's just a pale black & white shadow of the Hollywood model (which at least would have been in Technicolor) that even as escapism from postwar austerity no one would have bothered to put on a coat and paid their very hard-earned cash to see.
