The film was a huge hit. The saucy but sophisticated humour struck a chord with Austerity audiences. Classing this as a fantasy film seems to have given its makers license to abandon any moralising. Certainly, there's no Good Time Girl in this period's cinema who has quite such a nice time without paying for it afterwards. The outrageous final gag has a kick even for today's audience and must have sent people home laughing and speculating.
Script adapt .
When American Evelyn Dall comes over to wartime London to take her half of an escort agency, she finds Arthur Askey in charge of the other half and the business on its knees. So she teams up with Askey to find the most glamorous girls in the city to help entertain the troops. Cue one of the best musicals of the forties. One of the reasons for the film's success is the songs are good. Mostly co-written by Val Guest, they are surprisingly witty.
