Davy (film)

Davy is a 1958 British comedydrama film directed by Michael Relph and starring Harry Secombe, Alexander Knox and Ron Randell. It was the last comedy to be made by Ealing Studios and had the distinction of being the first British film in Technirama. Davy was intended to launch the solo career of Harry Secombe, who was already a popular British radio personality on The Goon Show, but it was only moderately successful.

A young entertainer is conflicted over the chance of a big break. He has to decide whether to remain with his familys music hall act or to go solo. An audition scene at Covent Garden includes an especially fine rendition of Puccinis Nessun Dorma by Secombe, who, while known mainly as a comedian, had a fine tenor voice, and Mozarts Voi Che Sapete performend by Adele Leigh.According to MGM records the film earned only 40,000 in the US and Canada and 265,000 elsewhere resulting in a loss of 279,000. ........
