The arrival of a glamorous film star at London Airport usually follows a well established pattern. Photographs, a smile, a hurried press-conference, a bouquet of flowers, and a swift drive to a hotel in a large black car. The arrival of Surrey Smith, one of Hollywood's newest singing and dancing stars, is, however, a little less orthodox, and the reception committee that is planning to greet her at her Knightsbridge apartment is caught literally bending. Nor do the shocks end there; for Surrey, a girl with something approaching a mind that is very much her own, has come over to star in a new spectacular musical called "The Night, the Blonde, and the Music" - which is unfortunate since she is in the first place a redhead, in the second, can no more sing and dance than swim the Channel, and in the third, is under the impression that the musical has been re-styled as a straight play. But the world of show-business is nothing if not inventive, and the way in which these hurdles are overcome forms the background to tonight's hilarious farce (R.A.)
