    Last film of Herbert Wilcox
    It wasn't to be.He was to have made a film about Lawrence of Arabia.Lean got there first and he was bankrupted. In any event this film shows how hoplessly out of date he was.After all Frankie Vaughn was an excellant stage performer but film actor he was not.A very mediocre film.
