Additional Information:
Ray Edwards advises that the film consists entirely of studio sets.
Donna Burt has told us that her Great Grandma, Dorothy Newnham nee Burdett, had a minor role in this film and regrettably is not mentioned anywhere. Donna does not know what part she played or when she appears in the film but adds, ” She was an amazing woman with so much character, she could still do the splits at 80 years old. She helped found Island [Isle of Wight] theater productions, she produced 13 pantos and many musicals, she also won an award in 1979 the national operatic and dramatic associations merit medal for outstanding service to amateur theater.”
