    Real Oddball!

    Although I can't be absolutely certain, I'd bet the farm that this is the only movie whose plot evolves because of the break up of a pantomime horse.

    The guy in the front of the horse and the guy in the rear end have a major disagreement over fronts relationship with a married woman and rears wife, who has just discovered she is pregnant, makes matters worse.

    There are accusations and counter accusations of murder and madness and the whole business moves along at a lively clip.

    It is not a complete waste of time and it is nice to see a young Barbara Mullen later of Dr. Finlay fame.

    Very Strange

    For some reason this has been re-titled Murder In The Footlights..The story is about the break up of the eponymous. act and then the breakdown of Favid Farrar.He does it in the grand style,eyes rolling and neighing like a horse Not his best performance.George Robey has a bit part.
