    Gracie

    Sing as we go is Gracie Fields's best film. If you don't take to it, you should not bother with the others. Directed by the theatre producer, Basil Dean, without any style, Fields, nevertheless, manages a decent performance with some good sketches as a popular mill-hand during the economic depression of the 1930s. She is, naturally, in love with the boss's son, but does he know it and does he care? Love, life & laughter is is from Britain's most prolific film director, Maurice Elvey, who directed the greatly admired late silent version of Hindle Wakes. Elvey is rarely less than competent and, here, he shows what he can do with weak material.
