Interesting facts

A Date with a Dream is a 1948 British musical comedy film directed by Dicky Leeman and starring Terry-Thomas, Jeannie Carson and Wally Patch. It was written by Robert S. Baker, Monty Berman, Leeman and Carl Nystrom. This was one of Terry-Thomas's earliest films and is reputedly partly based on his own experiences. Terry-Thomas was yet to develop his cad persona, and a then little-known Norman Wisdom appears in a very brief, non-speaking role. Its plot concerns a wartime group of musical entertainers who meet up a year after being demobbed and decide to reform their act.

Production

A Date With A Dream was the first production of Tempean Films, a production company founded by Monty Berman and Robert S. Baker following their war service. Of the film, Baker later commented, "It didn't make us a penny, but it gave us a good introduction to the film business". Tempean would go on to produce many British B-movies throughout the 1950s and into the early 1960s.
