Toe tapping mystery at its best!
1970, UK, Colour, 94 minutes
Directed by Gan Hertford. Written by Jimmy Shank
Starring Allen Kinderson, Marie Forthworth, Lulu Brown
Blackpool's most reputable Music Hall is wracked by mystery. Who is stalking Lady Bloomer? Who is frightening the Pantomine Horse? Why have all the pianos suddenly gone out of tune? In a delightful 94 minutes Jarvis takes us through the drama of these mysteries while also pouring out his great love for the proud British tradition of the music hall, then, as now, a dying art-form. It turns out that the ticket seller did it.
Great moment – when the snatch squad from the local police station have to pretend to be a chorus line in order to prevent a riot.
