George Formby's cinematic swan song.
Demobbed from the army, George heads back to his village pub, with his army buddy Ronald Shiner in tow, and finds the place rundown, while the pub across the river is thriving. Cue pub wars!
If this had been handled better, George may have a few more years in him but amongst the usual Formby shenanigans there are few moments that could easily have been lost. There's too many songs without the ukulele and the whole Alice In Wonderland dream sequence seems woefully out of place, even if it is metaphorically sound. Regardless, the appearance of George is enough alone to cheer you up and get you rooting for him.
