There is historical interest in the performances of music-hall stars Will Fyffe and Lily Morris and the fact that the really dreadful spoof of The Taming of the Shrew and other linking material were directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Hollywood had already produced several lavish musical revues to exploit sound and showcase contract artists when Britain's Elstree studio cobbled together this pathetically tatty-looking variety show, done against cardboard-looking sets. The production numbers are laughably bad, far funnier than the dire comedy sketches.
