Harmony Row (1933)

豆知識

Harmony Row is a 1933 Australian musical comedy directed by F. W. Thring and starring popular stage comedian George Wallace. It marked the film debut of Bill Kerr.

Production

Wallace and F. W. Thring decided to make a film together resulting in His Royal Highness. This was successful enough to lead to a follow up, and they decided to film Harmony Row. Wallace claimed the two films cost £35,000 between them. In August 1932 Wallace and Thring announced they had signed a five-year contract.

Most of the cast in the movies were stage actors making their film debut. This included Bill Kerr who had been cast by Thring in a proposed movie called Pick and the Duffers. That movie was not made but he was then cast in Harmony Row.

Filming began in Melbourne on 4 July 1932 and was finished in four weeks.

The full version of the film features a haunted house sequence where George unravels a mystery in a mansion. In some versions of the film this sequence was cut and replaced with one where George arrests a high society gentlemen (Campbell Copelin), thinking he's a thief.
