Does anyone know of this film? There must be something special about it. Has vinegar, but also has bids up to £54 and still 8 days to go!

It's worth trying to find a copy. An interesting film which shows various acts, many performers are ex-servicemen. Did it perhaps influence the making of the 1938 "St. Martin's Lane" (aka "The Sidewalks of London")? Another great film which I have on 16mm.
