Saturday Cinema Double Bill: It's a Grand Life

on BBC Two England

starring
Frank Randle , Diana Dors
Private ' Homicide ' Randle has a soft spot for a corporal in this army farce. Not surprising, since Cpl Paula Clements comes in the form of Diana Dors ! Unfortunately, a lecherous NCO has designs on the curvaceous corporal. Randle, probably Lancashire's most famous music-hall star, is in characteristic mood as the troublesome soldier in an army more fanciful than real.
Screenplay by H. F. MALTRY. FRANK RANDLE Produced and directed by JOHN E. BLAKELEY and at 4.55
It's Great to be Young starring
John Mills , Cecil Parker
Music, mutiny and midsummer madness are the ingredients in this good-natured comedy set in a school. When their popular teacher, Mr Dingle , is sacked, the boys and girls rebel and barricade themselves in the gym-but luckily all ends happily. The school orchestra features prominently in the story and if their talents seem remarkable then perhaps Humphrey Lyttelton and his band should share in the honours.
Screenplay by TED WILLIS
Produced by VICTOR SKUTEZKY Directed by CYRIL FRANKEL Films: page 7
