Courtneidge in a role partly written for by her husband Jack Hulbert often spelt disaster.However whilst she isn't good lets say she is less bad than at other times.The problem with Courtneidge is that she just does not know how to act for the camera.It is as if she is playing to the furthest member of an audience in a theatre.Her supposed highlight,having to take over in the troupe may have been funny then but it certainly isn't now.The musical numbers really are the highlight of what otherwise would be a highly unmemorable film.This really is a film that only fans of hers can enjoy.Otherwise be warned,this is an entertainment free zone.
