Davy ** (1958, Harry Secombe, Ron Randell, Alexander Knox, Susan Shaw, George Relph, Bill Owen) – Classic Movie Review 7089
Director Michael Relph draws the bitter-sweet short straw of making Ealing Studios’ last comedy, the 1957 Davy, which is engaging enough but rather a sad affair. Harry Secombe stars as a young music-hall singing star […]
