It's That Man Again

I hadn't heard of any of the actors in this film before nor the radio show it was based on however I still managed to get a few laughs out of it. The mayor of Foaming At The Mouth, an odd name even for a fictional town is broke and in a game of poker has 'won' a theatre, this theatre however isn't as grand as he first hopes and also comes with an acting school full of pupils who have paid but haven't received any tuition. One thing leads to another and they end up putting on a variety show, getting this show on stage means lots of twists and turns before the big night. The lead role played by Tommy Handley is mildly amusing, his rapid quickfire humour wears off before the end of the film and his bumbling ever loyal assistant also suffers from a similar fate, the best laughs however come from the end of the film which helps to keep the film going. All the cast play their roles well and the overall production is decent enough so although I had no idea who 'that man' was he helped entertain me for an hour and a half.
