O Palhaço Faz o Artista

An unsuccessful singer and actor (George Formby) is persuaded to pose as a flamboyant latino opera singer (also Formby, but with curly greased hair and a pencil tash) whom he strongly resembles and is having trouble with his management.

Not among the best of Formby's vehicles, having lost some of their comic edge once he moved over to Columbia Pictures, a decision he did come to regret. This was the first of seven pictures he made for Columbia. The real highlight is the song he sings in a pub: 'The Barmaid at the Rose and Crown'.
