This was one of the Pathe Pics we issued under licence from EMI and was made in black and white. It was a short documentary film featuring the activities taking place in London’s famous Denmark Street, also known as ‘Tin Pan Alley’. The idea of the film was to show cinema audiences just how a new music number is created, launched and set upon the road to success. The song in question is ‘Last Night’s Kisses’ and to help launch the song, stars Vera Lynn, Petula Clark and Billy Cotton are at hand. Doesn’t sound much but it sold very well.
