All George Formby movies follow the same plot: An amiable underdog who overcomes tremendous odds and wins the girl in the end. George trained as a jockey when he was a boy, so it is no wonder he rode like an expert in this film. Lots of fun and laughs (for the 1930's) and a good smattering of George playing his beloved uke. This is one of the best reasons to see George's movies--the music and to watch that fantastic technique used to strum those strings! There is plenty of George's winning
charm and that knowing smile which intimates that he is not the
naive boy he appears to be. I love it and keep coming back for more. Enjoy the race sequences, the music, and the clumsy love story--all jolly good family fun.
