MAYTIME IN MAYFAIR
(Wilcox-London Films) HE successor to Spring in Park Lane contains everything in just about the same proportions as its prototype, except that there is slightly more dream dancing by Michael Wilding and Anna Neagle. There was an exceedingly long queue waiting to see this picture, and one had to admit afterwards that the tried-and-true formula did havea certain narcotic effect. But there was an irritating fatuousness about Michael Wilding’s acting and some of the lines he had to utter, such as "You lock jus* like Anna Neagle." (The same goes for Tom Walls’s remark, "I see you're a member of the Michael Wilding fan club.) It was not up to previous standards, but I don’t suppose standards count much in a case like this.
