Part of ‘The British Film’ collection, Joe Brown (Three Hats for Lisa) stars as a likable young dreamer who finds himself with a hit on his hands in this wonderfully endearing musical drama of 1963. Featuring songs from the likes of Freddie and the Dreamers, What a Crazy World (12) will be available on DVD from Network Distributing on 7 July 2014, RRP £9.99.
Set against the background of London’s East End is the story of Alf Hitchins, an unemployed lad whose life revolves around dance halls, amusement arcades and cafés – any place to escape from the family home, where his father, mother and sister are deeply preoccupied with dog racing, bingo, and courting respectively. Alf’s cynical but cheerful acceptance of life expresses itself in the song he casually composes one night – and the results take everyone by surprise.
Also from The British Film coming 7th July - Dulcima, The Man Who Loved Redheads and Girls Will be Boys.
