Frankie Goes to Elstree

Supposedly about delinquent youth from Liverpool (not that you'd know from the accents) and produced by Anna Neagle (who didn't actually submit to the indignity of appearing in it).

Although Vaughan's enormous popularity as a singer incredibly made this "a great success" in it's day according to Dame Anna, this grisly attempt to make a British Elvis out of nice young Frankie Vaughan - despite superb photography by Gordon Dines - is as unwatchable today as Herbert Wilcox's previous films with Errol Flynn.
