This exuberant musical is a delight. As the original advertising went "It strolls; it struts; it razzles; it dazzles". It is, quite simply, the wonderful Tommy Steele at his very best, supported by a superb cast. This film is particularly memorable for its catchy songs, including "Half 'a Sixpence", "Money to Burn", "If the Rain's Got to Fall", and "Flash Bang Wallop". It's a great way to lift your spirits.
