Playtime for Workers
Release Date: 30th March 1943
Famous variety artistes take part in this 1940s musical production, a trip down memory lane for those who remember, and for those who came after. Comedy, music and fun. Based on the wartime BBC radio show "Workers Playtime" which was heard by the millions who worked in the munitions and other factories of those harrowing days.
"Top of the Bill” performers appear in starlight serenade forty minutes of music, song and dance. The international "side splitting" act of Wilson Keppel and Betty in their ludicrous sand dance is one of the highlights of the production.
A unique production of the days when London Airport was just a conglomeration of huts just after the Second World War. The Brabazon, the Comet, Constellations, Viscounts, Vikings, Yorks, and a host of long gone passenger aeroplanes are shown together with how London’s Heathrow Airport 'worked' in the late 1940s.
An amusing guide on how to act in public. Based on Emily Post's Book of Manners. It is the dos and don'ts of how to behave presented by Dennis Price and including a cast of well-known character actors. Directed by Michael Winner.
From a book by Stephen Baker, Stubby Kaye gives his advice on how to play golf. He excels himself in this hysterical film proving he is a master of controlled comedy.
