Description: Alastair Sim is a besotted nobleman who comes to the aid of indigent comedian Fred Emney. Through Sim's intervention, the planned closing of a local music hall is prevented. Even if Sim hadn't let the people sing, as the title implores, they probably would have done so anyway... Ultimately this is one of Priestley's lighter stories. It's a cute tale of the struggle to secure the future of the local village hall, with claims from an American mutinational, the local historical society, and a group of local musical aspirants. --John Lonergan at Amazon.com, et al.
Notes: At head of title: J. B. Priestley.
