Danny was such a loss to entertainment passing on at a young age. Went to photograph his house some months ago which was memorable. During the early 70's I was performing with one of the 50's cast and lots of stories were told of Danny's antics. The old programme is a nice memory also from 1953 prior to the movie.

"Alf Hall."
"Quick, bring him a chair."
Lovely memories of the stage show in 1953 at Blackpool. Danny Ross brought the house down.

the only one i can think that could have released it was Powell films.

i have never seen anyone fall and get up so quick in all my life. makes me laugh every time i see it. fabulous.

Highly recommend investing in That's my Boy DVD Jimmy Clitheroe and Danny Ross lost episode is included as well. The BSA Bantam episode is hilarious. £3 on the bay.

Love match is listed in the 70's film lists also in the Derann 1979 hire catalogue but I couldn't find its distributor. Probably PM or Powell films at a guess.
Watch out for a young Shirly Eaton in it.

Cheers guys. I was thinking it was either Powell Films or PM Films too. I have been looking through some back issues of Movie Maker magazines but no luck so far in confirming this. [Smile]
