Few of the cast attempt a Lancashire accent and any attempt at dramatic acting is undermined by the stagy direction and a script that states the obvious. The Blackpool scenes are largely shot on location. Like the other versions, the film's setting is contemporary. However 50s Britain was a very different place to the Britain of the 20s and 30s. And 50s films had no room for a sparky heroine with a mind of her own.
Script adapt .
Jerry Verno plays a Cockney plumber who's a peer. Sadly, girlfriend Polly Ward has fallen in with a bunch of Bolsheviks and Verno's attempts to hide his shameful secret from her are complicated by the arrival of a Hollywood star looking to get some publicity out of marrying into the aristocracy. This musical was one of the films turned up by the Missing Believed Lost search and it was booed by audiences on its original release. Script adapt .
