Summaries

During World War II, the Canadian Navy gathered a troupe of diverse performers (dancers, comedians, singers, musicians) from its ranks and sent them off to entertain their shipmates and the revue ultimately played London's Hippodrome. The acceptance of the audience was based more on wartime London's appreciation of the gallantry of Britain's sons and daughters from overseas than it was on the artistic value of the show or the talent of the performers. The film is a mixture of fact and fiction of the adventures of the troupe members, and the ending, only partly filmed in Technicolor, is primarily the revue as seen at the Hippodrome.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
