Witnessing the stylistic evolution of Leo Mittler through Cheer Up! is profound, this Musical landmark continues to dictate the rules of its category. If Charles Hawtrey, Terry-Thomas, Kenneth Kove impressed you, these next recommendations will too.
The synthesis of form and function in Cheer Up! to maintain its cult relevance across several decades.
A couple of out of work songwriters try to persuade a wealthy stockbroker to back them. But he turns out to be broke as they are. A series of mistaken identities, misunderstandings and general confusion as our heroes attempt to make a living as songwriters in 1930s Britain. Well paced acting with some quite amusing lines, together with some reasonably good song and dance make this amusing Ealing Studio production worth a viewing.
