- Synopsis:
Already a phenomenally successful entertainer and stalwart of the London Palladium, in 1956 Max Bygraves headed an accomplished cast in this musical drama charting the rocky road to success for a young comedy hopeful. A new career opens for 'Charley Moon' when, during his army service, he is detailed to appear in a unit concert. In doing so, he becomes friendly with Harold Armytage (Dennis Price), a peacetime actor of the old school. Hearing that Charley has no job to go to when demobilised, Armytage suggests they team up as stage comics. Things are not easy; jobs are few and far between, and when they can be found they are in the tatticst of theatres, but Charley gains the experience he needs. They then decide to try their luck in London... - Actors:
