My Favourite Reel

[Graham Ritchie]

My favourite trailer reel plus other stuff.

Nice that Graham and a hard decision to make but based on nostalgia it will have to be Ukelele Man 200ft taken from the second talkie starring one George Formby. It's a film I have had since the 70's which eventually due to high sales led to more Formby releases. The 35mm Nitrate print used was loaned from a dear friend of mine long gone much sadness.
George was 30 when filming it and in my modest opinion was incredibly well groomed by Beryl at the time.

Lee is referring to "Off The Dole", George Formby's second film made in 1935. Here is an extract from this film.
