Pop Go the Movies!: Up Jumped a Swagman

BBC One
on BBC One London

Tonight's film in a season featuring the pop stars of the 60s who set Britain - and the world-swinging to a new beat.
Starring Frank Ifield
with Annette Andre, Ronald Radd, Richard Wattis, Suzy Kendall

A young Australian singer arrives in London to make his fame and fortune. One of the first things he sees is a giant poster of a beautiful blonde - with whom he immediately falls in love.
Frank Ifield, then at the height of his success, made his film debut in this mixture of pop and fantasy directed by Christopher Miles.
