Featured review
Later Formby but still achingly funny
Released on October 12th 1942 this Formby film probably has the best cast line up of any Formby film. George plays a milkman and part time artist who has a problem drawing bodies.On his milk round he is helped by his younger brother played by Jimmy Clitheroe (The Clitheroe Kid). Also in the cast is that ever reliable character actress Kathleen Harrison and Charles Hawtrey. The plot involves George drawing the heads of prominent ladies in his local village, The fun begins when some students led by Hawtrey draw voluptuous bodies on them. It was a rarity even in those days to have two big music hall stars acting in the one film. As usual George gets to sing and play his ukulele to the fallowing songs - Andy the handy man, They all laughed when I started to play,Talking to the moon about you, Delivering the morning milk. A little longer than the usual Formby films but great fun nonetheless.
