After an interval of 60 years, this film is simply embarrassing.
This is, quite simply, a means to cash in on the then popularity of the 6.5 Special TV show. To have a singer pick up a guitar in a railway carriage and suddenly be accompanied by and orchestra and chorus might have been believable in 1958, but not for much longer afterwards.
Kitsch at its kitchest indeed. To its credit, it does allow us to see popular singers as they were in their formative years.
