MRS. BROWN YOU'VE GOT A LOVELY
DAUGHTER-1968-Herman's Hermits tries to emulate The Beatles movie
success with inept talky musical. Peter/Herman is an unhappy guy who
lives with his mother and works for an advertising agency. He also
owns a racing dog named Mrs. Brown. At night he rehearses with the
rest of the Hermits. The title cut and “There's A Kind of Hush”
are in it but so are some forgettable tunes. A guy named Mr. Brown
(Stanley Holloway) sponsors the band so they can raise money to race
their dog. Not surprisingly his daughter Judy (Sarah Caldwell) falls
for Herman. The weirdest part is that co-stars Holloway, Mona
Washburn (as a human Mrs. Brown) and Lance Percival all sing too!
Director Saul Swimmer later filmed THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH.
American born screenwriter Norman Thaddeus Vane later returned to his
native country and made low budget horror movies (FRIGHTMARE, THE
BLACK ROOM). He may have been married to lead actress Caldwell.
Thanks for reading!
