Curiosità

Davy is a 1958 British comedy-drama film directed by Michael Relph and starring Harry Secombe, Alexander Knox and Ron Randell. It was written by WIlliam Rose. It was the last comedy to be made by Ealing Studios and was the first British film in Technirama. Davy was intended to launch the solo career of Harry Secombe, who was already a popular British radio personality on The Goon Show, but it was only moderately successful.

Production

The film was one of six made by Ealing Studios under an agreement they had with MGM. The National Film Finance Corporation provided £29,849 of the budget of £198,997. The film was directed by Michael Relph who normally worked as a producer. Relph later said Davy "wasn't very good" and the script by William Rose "wasn’t one of his best." According to Kenneth Tynan who worked for Ealing around this time the movie was the "brainchild" of Rose.
