Melody Club

Although he had appeared in many pre war films this was the second film of the post war feature film career of Terry Thomas.At the time he was starring in a comedy series on BBC radio.It is clear that at the time he made this film that he had not adapted to the new medium yet.However within a few years he would become of this country's top film comedians. Unfortunately this film is very unfunny and there is very little that he can do to breathe some life into it. He plays a detective who is brought into discover why members of a nightclub are suffering a spate of burglaries.This he manages to do in a bumbling sort of way.If you are a fan it would be worth watching,but if not don't bother.
