We are able through this film to have a window into what the London stage and music halls would provide.Obviously there are some lesser acts but to see artistes like Lilly Morris at their prime is pricelessThe sketches and blackout spots featuring Donald Calthorpe,Jameison Thomas and Jack Hulbert still retain their sparkle.
This is a film which will only appeal to fans of the era and genre.So to view it in any other context ,as some reviewers are want to do is totally missing the point.
