British musical which I don't think made much of a splash but is quite elaborate with large production values and elaborate dance numbers. Leslie Bricusse did the score which is fine - nothing memorable but pleasant enogh.
The star is Joe Brown who I'm not that familiar with. He's got a boy next door face and spiky blonde hair.
The plot has him as a fan of a French actoress (Sophie Hardy) who is in town looking for a hat. Like that's the story. It's got a dash of Roman Holiday and Hardy is far too attractive for Brown. Stubbs is the girl who loves Brown, I think. But more of a conneciton between lead boy and girl would've worked wonders.
Still Sid James offers from dependable support and the film's determination to be fun is endearing. They threw a lot at it. Sidney Hayers directs his little backside off.
