Plot

The film is about a US singer named Bobby Denver, who is known as the "Crying Crooner" (a la Johnnie Ray), who stays with a stockbroker's family by mistake when he comes to England. The stockbroker, played by Jack Buchanan, has three very pretty daughters with the youngest Gwen (played by Janette Scott) madly in love with him so much she wants to marry him. Eventually, the stodgy stockbroker deals with his wife and daughter as well as his maid Linda (played by Joan Sims, who keeps fainting every time Bobby sings) being so infatuated.[2]

Reception

Variety said it would be "expected to register at home."[3]

gollark: REPLs are highly.
gollark: ```pythonimport subprocesssubprocess.run(["sudo", "nano", "/etc/bees.data"])```
gollark: My `/etc/passwd` has `/bin/python3` as my shell.
gollark: I agree! Instead of using a shell, a paradigm designed for the typewriters of 1980ish, I use Python.
gollark: In these modern days, there are shells based on python somehow, a bunch of modern structured-programming-y ones, fish (basically a traditional shell with less bee syntax and excellent line editing), and I can't immediately think of other categories.
