Very Important Person (1961, UK)



The chorus on stage
 James Robertson Justice plays a pompous and arrogant scientist during World War II. He falls into enemy hands and is sent to a prisoner-of-war camp. He devises a scheme to escape, which he does successfully. Stanley Baxter has two interesting roles as a rather paranoid Scotsman and as the German camp commander.

Inevitably, the prisoners are putting on a camp revue; there is a chorus of dancing "girls".




A passable substitute for the real thing
 The standard of dancing is quite good; and no effort has been spared in making the costumes.




Some girls have moustaches
 But some girls still have facial hair - in this case Leslie Philips (left). The revue producer, played by Richard Wattis, takes these things seriously and insists that Philips' character shave it off.
