Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBilly Wright, the famous Wolverhampton Wanderers and England football player, is described as "Mr Beverley". That is a humorous reference to the fact that he was married to Joy Beverley, one of The Beverley Sisters. The Beverley Sisters trio was a very popular singing act in the 1950s and 1960s.

Featured review
Probably incomprehensible to anyone under 65
I remember the Jack Jackson show very well and this film reflects his surreal sense of humour.Pre war Jackson led the dance band at the Dorchester Hotel.In the fifties he became a dj with his own innovative style.Glenn Mason was a singer and actor,who occasionally sat near me at The Arsenal.He played,as can be seen,for the very popular Show Biz XI,which once played at my local club.Craig Douglas had a brief period of success,and I still have one of his 45 rpm discs issued on the Top Rank label.Russ Conway was a pianist discovered by Billy Cotton and Libby Morris,a Canadian singer who used to live in Finchley.For me this was a very nostalgic film.
