A beautifully filmed and acted British gem with 60 film stars
19 April 2012
A beautifully filmed and acted British gem. I have the Studio Canal release which I think is very good for picture and sound.For its age the colour is excellent, perhaps due to William Friese-Greene. As you are watching it you have to keep pausing and rewinding to see which film star you thought you saw in the crowd. It is amazing; the cover says "SEE 60 FAMOUS FILM STARS". How the director got so many stars to appear, some for just a few seconds is astonishing. If you get the chance watch this film. I am a Margaret Rutherford fan and was delighted to see her cameo role here. It was only short but adds to my collection.
