Gracie
By a customer from London , 18 Mar 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
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.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Xoltana (1 review) from Chester , 27 Aug 2011Love this woman,what a phenominal voice,i can relate as i worked in the cotton mills also,not only a great singer but a comedian with it,she can bring tears to your eyes with either of her skills,but it is mainly the singing that did it for me,she was definatly a Rochdale treasure,god bless her.- Was this review helpful to you?

PUT
By Barry from London, England , 31 Dec 2009I wish someone would put SHIPYARD SALLY on DVD and add it to the Gracie Fields collection. Watch the You Tube clip and you will see what I mean. The film is the first time Gracie sings 'Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye' which, of course, later became a famous (the best?) Second World War morale booster song.- Was this review helpful to you?
