The film is notable as star Vera-Ellen's final film; she later withdrew from public life after the death of her daughter, Victoria Ellen Rothschild.[3] The film is also Tony Martin's final appearance in a movie musical. He later made a cameo appearance in Dear Mr. Wonderful, an obscure 1982 film starring Joe Pesci.[4]

Filmed on location at Edinburgh as well as at Elstree Studios, Let's Be Happy premiered in London on 9 May 1957.[1]

Cast
gollark: As a mostly internal service for PotatOS and such it is also not open sourced.
gollark: I'm osmarks, the web UI is mine, and the new URL is skynet.osmarks.net. I don't think it allows tables as channels now. SPUDNET is more complex and somewhat poorly documented.
gollark: There are other projects in this space like soqet with authentication, but the design called for making it as trustless and simple as possible so skynet requires you to do encryption and stuff yourself (SPUDNET, another project of mine, does *not* do this and does have a fairly complex authorization system, but is used in different areas).
gollark: Someone here made something which meddles with the peripheral API to make it emulate actual modem peripherals, but by default the API is quite different.
gollark: (I found out later that this had in fact been done rather a lot of times before, but mine is unique in having a CC client at least)
