A luckless choirmaster unwittingly causes local rivalries to bubble
to the surface when he returns home to his Welsh roots. Accepting
the post of choirmaster in the village where he grew up, Geraint
Llewellyn (Clifford Evans) returns from London, and sets about
planning the choir's latest production, Handel's 'Messiah'. But
when it comes to choosing the soloist, Geraint's choice of Mrs.
Davies (Betty Cooper) over the seasoned talents of resident leading
lady Mrs Lloyd (Rachel Thomas) goes down like a lead balloon,
instigating a split not only between the respective families, but
between the village itself.
Double bill of 1940s classics from Ealing Studios. In 'The Foreman
Went to France' (1941), after his bosses have sold three machines
for making fighter cannons to a French company, an English factory
foreman (Clifford Evans) travels to France in 1940 in order to
engineer the smuggling of the vital machinery out of the country
before the invading Germans can get their hands on it. Whilst in
France he meets two British soldiers (Tommy Trinder and Gordon
Jackson) who agree to help him as it soon becomes a race against
time. In 'Fiddlers Three' (1944), a couple of sailors (Trinder and
Sonnie Hale) are on shore leave and decide to visit Stonehenge.
Whilst there they rescue a damsel in distress (Frances Day) and all
three get struck by lightning at midnight. This transports them
back in time to ancient Rome and they find themselves slaves who
very soon are on their way to the arena and the mouth of a lion.
