Featured review
Behind the jumpin' title this rather subdued Monogram programme-filler resembles 'Stella Dallas' for the first two thirds with the twist that mom is an opera singer in elegant kid gloves and the initially unacknowledged son is a honky tonk entertainer (whose repertoire includes 'hilarious' impressions of Charles Laughton & Ronald Colman).
The funky stuff (including Huntz Hall in drag) eventually takes centre stage for the rousing finale in which (SPOILER COMING:) Peter Lind Hayes and his real-life wife Mary Healey (the two of them best-known for 'The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T') join each other before an ecstatic audience while tears well up in Hayes' real-life mother Grace Hayes' eyes. The End.
