When Cotton was king

This comedy from the 1930s is more of a historical document for it shows an industry still at its height .Many scenes are set in the factories so we see many of the industrial processes.On the entertainment side much of the story is typical stereotypes of the times.Will Fyffe playing a canny Scotsman and Stanley Holloway playing a doughty Lancastrian.There is Jimmy Hanley as the juvenile interest.Now what is he,a southerner doing in a Lancashire mill?We also have Gibson Gowland of "Greed" fame no less in a bit part.For anyone interested in British films of then 30s this film is a must.It still has some entertainment value.Produced by Joe Rock who made many interesting films in the 30s.
