    Canadian navy on stage
    This a filming of a wartime revue produced by the Canadian navy. Its' climax is the cast's performance at a royal command performance in London, England. The cast is made of up mostly amateurs, and their lack of experience shows in the acting. The musical numbers however hold up surprisingly well. There is one fantastic tap dancing sequence in a barber's shop and John Pratt's song "You'll Get Used To It" was a wartime hit. Although the film was made in England there are a few Hollywood names in the credits, which probably accounts for the technical gloss of the musical numbers. Most of the cast were never heard of again but John Pratt made an appearance in a few movies and had a successful career in Canadian politics. The movie still sometimes shows up on television, usually at some unearthly hour of the morning. Most surviving prints seem to be all black and white but in the original the final performance was in color.
