Corny But Nice

If knowing that it starts with bunny girls doing the Twist at Raymond's Revue Bar doesn't put you off (it's easy to see why it carried an 'A' certificate in 1964), then this film is for you.

Frankie Vaughan and 'Mr' Acker Bilk having already demonstrated that they couldn't act in 'My Teenage Daughter' and 'Band of Thieves', that problem is skirted by including them as performers only and leaving the thesping to TV funnymen Lance Percival and William Rushton.

Plainly shot on half a shoestring but ravishingly and enthusiastically shot in early sixties Eastman Colour (within fifteen years assistant art director John Barry won an Oscar for his work on 'Star Wars'), a young and big-haired Dusty Springfield - billed simply as one of 'The Springfields' - is just one of the treats crammed into less than a hour.
