CALL A COP
(B.E.F.)
FIVE comic songs, with acrobatic interludes, are strung together by a slender thread of story in an endeavour to provide the audi-
ence with two hours of laughter. They succeed in raising a féW surreptitious giggles when George Formby obliges with a risqué song, a number of guffaws when he rolls down a slope in a barrel and when he gives his boss an unexpected ride on a motorbike; but for the most part you can spend your time more advantageously studying the psychology of a motion-picture audience endeavouring to assert its control over sticky sweets and chocolates.
