Description
Richard Hearne (Mr Pastry) stars in this 1951 Nettlefold production made at Walton Studios. Directed by the ever present Maclean Rogers and written by Michael Pertwee from a play by Veron Sylvaine.
Typical Mr Pastry, a mixture of the “littleman” and slapstick not unlike the late Norman Wisdom. The woman owner of a dress shop gambles the shop away to her bookie who inherits not only the shop
but Mr Pastry (the manager) and his assistant Petula Clark. Roles are reversed in this caper and all ends well…
A must for all Hearne and Clark fan
