Backstage musical

This is a typical backstage musical of the 1940s.However i think that it is of greater interest because of the fact that it features virtually all the main acts shown on the Bill at the beginning of the film.So we start with the Chinese acrobats,work our way through the adagio to the Ivy Benson Band and to Jack Warner.So if you are interested in British music hall of this period then this film is most definitely for you.Having said that you will have to go out of your way to find it.Your best bet being ebay.The plot is one of the typical murder mysteries and is little interest other than the humour extracted out of it by Claude Hulbert.
