goes lame at the first hurdle

Like one of the other reviewers I don't like horse racing and I don't like horse racing films.However I do like British films of the thirties so I have had to endure quite a few.I do rather like Claude Hulbert,much better than brother Jack.However the plot is silly and almost devoid of humour.I laughed no more than a couple of times.For me the high spot had to be a brief cameo by music hall star Harry Tate twirling his mustache as a policeman.This was not a film by Ealing films but at Ealing studios.At about this time they also made the horse racing comedy,Come On George.This probably kept a few people amused on the bottom half of a double bill.
