Follow Norman

This is better than average, not his best though, Norman continues to highlight the picking on and mis-using the little guy, this time its about a bloke who can sing who is ripped off by a professional singer, played by the dependable Jerry Desmonde.

Its the usual state of affairs with accident prone and unlucky Norman, who is pushed about but with hilarious effects, and obviously Norman wins the day, it sounds so formulaic and simple, because it is, but its still funny and well made.

June Laverick is the lucky (or unlucky) girl to win Normans affections, she had a bit of bad luck in real life as well, Norman gets to sing a few of his songs as well.

So the usual fare from Norman but made and performed just a bit better than usual.

Lookout for then married Hattie Jacques and John Le Mesurier, although they did not share a scene together, Fenella Fielding, Ron Moody, Dick Emery and Dilys Laye. Normans films were a cradle for many quality actors.
