Webster Booth in Saturday Night Revue (1937)

With Easter coming up,I decided to take a look at the &quot;Also released DVDs&quot; page in Empire magazine,in the hope of finding a title that I could give to my dad as an Easter present.Getting near the end of the page,I suddenly spotted that a near-forgotten British Musical had just made its DVD debut,which led to me getting ready to make a revue of the weekend. The plot: Being turned down from every major night club in London, musician Jimmy Hanson and singer Mary Dorland are relieved when a night club called Moons gives them the chance to perform.Due to the venue having a seedy rep,Dorland lies to her parents by saying that she is working at a near by upper-class club which is also called Moons. Getting set to make their debut,Dorland finds out that the other Moons club has announced that it is going to put all its performers on radio later that night,on a show which Dorland&#39;s parents have promised they will listen to for her.As they try to sneak on to the radio show,Dorland &amp; Hanson start to meet the &quot;characters&quot; who hang round the club. View on the film: Designed as a showcase for &quot;unique&quot; variety acts of the year, (which includes the Edinburgh Kilted Orchestra!)director Norman Lee gives the title a good sense of energy,with Lee using quick whip-pans to give the nightclub a lively atmosphere. Initially appearing to be rather care-free,the screenplay by Vernon Clancey takes some terrific,unexpected dark turns,which go from a femme fatale attempting to murder her ex- gangster,to Hanson nearly going blind!,in a movie which starts the weekend off on a high note.

Saturday Night Revue

This film is typical of rescue films made at this time.Put as many turns as possible on film and link it with a weak plot.Many such films exist only in cut down versions,which means many acts are lost.Thankfully not in this film which is a very good DVD release.The musical numbers are actually well staged.I was intrigued by the.Edinburgh kiilted orchestra,comprised of teenage musicians and dance band leader exhibiting a fair amount of exuberance.There is a tap dancer,name unknown,wonder if it was Buddy Bradley,with a great routine well photographed.Yes there were tap dancers on radio.There are glimpses of Billy Reid and his accordion band.However Sally Gray has a truly awful voice,couldn&#39;t they have dubbed her?
