I am a huge fan of Antony Alouishus Ancock on both radio TV and film, and this film is a brilliant vehicle for the lad from Railway Cuttings East Cheam.
I have the film set with The Rebel and The Punch And Judy Man, but I can never resist the chance to watch it on the box.
The journey of the struggling artiste commencing as the, office wage slave trapped in daily drudgery.
Barely surviving in his lowly garret, contending with the ultimate philistine landlady Mrs Cravat.
She is personified by the simply Inimitable Irene Handl, who is fantastic with brilliant lines.
Our hero escapes the rat race for Parisian art nouveau, bistros, fellow struggling artistes, and similar ratty land lady.
The Art World is personified by George Sanders pompous and priggish, Sir Charles Brewer.
A bloke who's artistic sensibilities rely solely on financial considerations, and my total lack of knowledge leads me to consider.
That these characters help determine what passes for public opinion, on all things artistic.
I can't help thinking that Tubs line in the art gallery is very apposite, regarding attitudes towards art in particular what's 'Good or Bad'
"You're all Mad non of you know what you are looking at. You'll miss me when I'm dead"
