Half a Sixpence

"If I had the money, I'd buy me a banjo!" says struggling sales clerk Arthur Kipps (Tommy Steele). Soon he'll inherit enough to buy a whole bloomin' orchestra. But can his newfound wealth buy happiness? Multi-talented Steele brings his London and New York stage smash to the screen in this big, cheerful, tune-filled production based on H.G. Wells' charming novel Kipps. Cyril Ritchard costars as a thespian who introduces Arthur to the joys of Edwardian London's music halls. And a huge cast of high-stepping, high-spirited singers and dancers have the time of their lives. Enjoy, because Half A Sixpence gets you a million dollars worth of fun! (English)
