Possibly a bad assumption on my part.

Not necessarily considering assorted music scenes, I just didn't know if it was an explicit element of characterization/atmosphere/plot in the same way as in Expresso Bongo. Which, for the record, I still adore and occasionally just rewatch the musical numbers of.

I think I might go for The Punch and Judy Man (Sylvia Sims is in it as well!)

I look forward to your report!

(Ferry Cross the Mersey wasn't a jibe: I remember enjoying it when it showed at the Somerville in 2013. It had nice music and T.P. McKenna and Cilla Black and only as much plot as it needed. I just can't remember if it had a racist joke when we weren't expecting it or if we were braced for a racist joke that never happened and the distinction is meaningful.)

[edit] In the course of double-checking the year in which [personal profile] spatch and I saw Ferry Cross the Mersey, I turned up this review and had completely forgotten this complaint. Eleven years after the fact, goal finally achieved!
