Featured review
To my mind the director John Baxter is one of the great directors of quota quickie.He has been recognised by a book and a season at the bfi south bank.Many of his films have a familiar theme namely the community getting together and helping out someone in trouble.In this film it is Mary Clare who is a flower seller who becomes sick and is in danger of losing her livelihood.The community rally together and hold a benefit show for her at the local music hall.This features music hall greats such as Florrie Force and Marie Kendall.It is truly fascinating.Try and watch the companion film ,Music Hall.which has a similar sort of film also made by Baxter at Twickenham.
