If only people did as George sings here, then the world would be a better place.

This is a man we need now in this sad world we live in now!

Nothing like Formby to cheer you up and make you feel better.

This performance must have raised so many spirits in 1940. Cheers George.

Haha! Not even the contrived cacophany of those brass middle bits that have something to do with the plot can take away from the pure joy of George Formby's performance!

My eldest is 38, the youngest is 18. All 5 of my kids love George Formby. He was and will always be amazing :)

What fantastic entertainment. This kind of stuff just does not exist today. Here is a wonderful extract from a George Formby song, I know not which, that just captures his wonderful risque humour of his songs and recordings.. "A crowd outside the bakers in town, what they saw it made them frown, 'cause a tart in the window was upside down" George co-wrote a lot of stuff with Eddie Latta, who was a local undertaker in Warrington who buried George when he died

That's my grandma he is singing the song to, at the table : )

Cannot get enough of this Song and The Great Mr. George Formby ! 💖And now back to Cleanin' Windas~

what a lovely happy song. I miss you George! One in a million

One of my all time favourites! Note The British Andrew Sisters!

I'm only 30 and I think this is great!

My favourite George Formby song!

This man is so adorable. I love him!

12 years old and love it

Great song and an absolutely grand performance :))

ive gotta say im a big fan of the Formby. its a shame the younger generation couldnt get introduced to his music like i was when i was younger. i will always be a fan of old gormless george

.widely mourned by millions - a true giant in his heyday and a virtuoso on his banjo-uke loved him since a kid and saw him on TV each and every week

I heard this on the fm radio not so long ago, he has a beautiful voice

LOVE the ending. I got chills all over my back, but all warm inside at the same time^^

What a great uplifting song. Thanks George😎👍.

I am here after watching A League Of Their Own. Wonderful song!

I'm really intrigued by this scene. Apparently the bandleader and one of the musicians are enemy agents of some kind, and what appears to be just a cheerful, upbeat song has had secret messages incorporated into it for the bad guys on a submarine to hear on this radio broadcast. Fortunately, the British government is also aware of this and deciphers the message as well. The bad guys must be German - this is during World War II - but it sounds like they're speaking English as they figure out the code. I like this clever, unexpected juxtaposition of the lighthearted music and a nefarious secret plot.

From what i've heard the brass bits are to tell the coordinates of british merchant ships.

Actually they still show these films, shows, even old comercials, there are many networks on television now like, TV land and many others, they have a network for everything one soly ment on video games. Im was born in 92' and I watch them all the time.

Counts your blessings and smile.

This was in the new George Harrison documentary!

Many arrive here from M. Scorsese's doc of Geo Harrison. Includes the "who wants to die? oh what a happy land" bit, from a time when scores of thousands of British were dying in the Blitz. Irony, morale, patriotism all inextricably mixed together. Makes me proud and glad we were allies of this "bulldog nation." USA... "late but in earnest."

Loved the songs and movies...🌹💕🤗

Its Brilliant! Great sound with the full band and the three girl singers too... Love it!

The best George Formby song. Love it.....beg ya pardon! Look out for Betty Driver from Corrie, one of the three singers with George, she is the one furthest from him.

Happy days!

Always brings back memories of my best friend, and the best dog ever, I love you shadow

I wish I could have a big band like this... would be great :D

It's great to be British.

Is anyone here from LOTO on Amz Prime?

If you are near Ealing Broadway there's a church on the Uxbridge road with a big stone thing outside with the words to this song on it I believe the film was made in the nearby Ealing studios as a few of his films were

Priceless!

To me one of the great musicals ever,and the movie that made thousands jump up and cheer when in dream sequence he beats up Hitler

seen this in the George Harrison documentary

He truly is the godfather of the ukulele

here from A League of Their Own (2022)

Love this Guy!

Fuck, how I love george formby

@Jimflirts I'm only 11, 9 when I found George, but age doesn't matter really. We are all allowed to like him =) lol

I don't know why I'm scared of old films : I

Slack made the brilliant commercial with this song

@JFredUK Yes, I was also a kid in the 70s/80s and used to watch (and love) Formby films shown on the BBC. I suspect the majority of kids these days would just find it boring. The good thing is the best films have been released on DVD, but beware of cheap bad reproduction unofficial copies.

George Harrison

Great performance, maybe too 'cheesy' for modern tastes but I think its genuine and positive 👍🏻

In the USSR, this film was released during the war since 1943 under the title "George from Dinky Jazz." He was very famous. This song was performed in the USSR after the war in Russian, because Britain and the USSR fought together against the Nazis.

When the film was made in 1940 the USSR was invading Poland with their Nazi allies before moving on to invade Finland . They are still invading places today.

@Nojnotpu I reckon that one's called 'Have you ever heard this one?'

Shhh!! That's top secret!

Never Let Me Go brought me here.

he could swing that uke

That's really great to hear. You should have a go at learning the ukulele :o)

He´s voice sounds a lot like Joel Gray´s..... (the guy that plays Emce in "Cabaret")

Could we have some more songs uploaded?

One of my favourites too. Check out my collection, which I am gradually replacing with High Quality versions.

OK, so the music is a bit corny, but I love the photography, the staging, and the message it sends. We really need to count our blessings and smile. This is from 1940, and so am I!

Pause at 3:22. x)

Lovely song from dear George. What was the message? Was it "H" "3.30"?

Anyone the girl trio singing with George.

:)

Given the time period, the state of the world and what the uk was going through at the time. To me this is the most creepiest thing ever😂 I know it was suppose to be uplifting at the time but it’s just so unnerving

¿Can somebody tell me who are the singers?

So why does Abba get credit for inventing the music video?

Who came here from Never Let Me Go?👀

I'm sorry you (charizard4410) take my comment harshly and haven't noticed the tongue in cheek order I suggest punishment! - actually I've been noted as having a very catholic taste in music , anything from Status Quo to Sibelius - excluding only opera and what I call 'twiddly classical' I absolutely agree each person has his/her own tastes but surely each also has a right to make comment all beit TIC about other's tastes.

@amyrocket123 - Perhaps it's not to their taste, not everyone likes this sort of music.

Does anyone know if Beryl is the blonde in the middle?

Because they don't know what proper music is!
