It's not really a movie, more like a TV variety show shot at MGM's London studio when there was down time. But because it was shot there, the production set design qualities are quite high and this is a cultural artifact window into pre-Beatles British pop music. It's corny and goofy, but also contains a sincerity that early 60s variety thrived on. Too much Frankie Vaughan, but he was a big star then, which might seem inexplicable today (but then try explaining Acker Bilk's stardom). You get Dusty with her Springfield brothers and Graham Nash with the Hollies, so historical enthusiasts might appreciate these early appearances. The nightclub scene had some surreal qualities pursuing visual jokes, but in a silly British manner rather than artiste French cinema. If you want to pass an hour looking at nice sets and listening to inoffensive pap music, not all that unpleasant for killing time if you are streaming Netflix/Amazon VOD.
