Contrary to the previous review Lupino Lane was very much a film star.He made 76 films,the majority in Hollywood.He appeared in The Love Parade for Ernst Lubitsch.He gave up making films because he preferred the stage.In 1939 he scored his biggest ever hit with Me and My Girl.The first 16 minutes are quite funny.Lane with domestic strife with his wife and stepchildren.The scene then switches to Blackpool,where there is a lot of location shooting,a lot of it shot silent.The rather silly plot involving Sari Maitza then comes into play.However the best parts of this film are the silent sections where clearly his expertise as a silent screen performer and director came into play.There is a sequence where he is on a folder which is as poor a process as you will ever see.
