Lassie from Lancashire (1938)

Struggling aspiring actress Jenny joins her father in moving to live with her Aunt Hetty in her boarding house. Worked hard by her aunt, she dreams of the bright lights, and sees an opportunity when she falls for an aspiring songwriter. They join together to try their luck at a Pierrot Troupe Show nearby, but Jenny finds her dreams threatened by both her disapproving aunt, and within the Pierrot group itself... Starring Marjorie Browne, Hal Thompson, Marjorie Sandford, Mark Daly, Vera Lennox, Elsie Wagstaff, Billy Carlisle, Hilda Munday, Johnny Scofield, and keep your eyes peeled for the late Leslie Phillips' screen debut in a bit part. I have yet to find him in this, but it is listed in his filmography that he is in it! This is from an old video tape, so apologies for any glitches there may be in it. My reason for uploading it is because I've noticed it is not available anywhere else online and I thought people might like to see it. It's not a bad old film either, decent entertainment that was representative of many British films back then. It has some lively enough performances, but an interesting bit of info regarding the formiddable Aunt Hetty, in that Elsie Wagstaff (who plays her) was only 39 when she did this! The actress herself lived to the ripe old age of 86 in 1985.
