Vintage studio still photograph from the 1971 musical film, showing actresses Georgina Hale, Sally Bryant, Antonia Ellis, and Caryl Little. Based on the 1953 West End musical by Sandy Wilson, about a mousy stage manager forced to take the lead in a low-budget musical revue after the lead actress breaks her leg. While Wilson's original is a straightforward pastiche of 1920s musicals, director Ken Russell's adaptation is a full-blown parody of 1930s musical films, particularly Busby Berkeley, with heavy metatextual elements, as the more lavish numbers take place in the imagination of a Hollywood producer watching the show. 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
