Additional Information About The Movie :

Sid Field's famous golfing sketch, as performed on stage and also used in his film 'London Town' in 1946. His straight-man is Jerry Desmonde, who would go on to be straight-man to Norman Wisdom in the 50s.

Sid Field (1 April 1904 -- 3 February 1950) was an English comedy entertainer. He was born Sidney Arthur Field in Ladywood, Birmingham, son of Albert (a canemaker) and Bertha (a dressmaker). Field spent most of his childhood at 152 Osborn Road, Sparkbrook, Birmingham.

Field had entertainment in his blood from an early age. As a child he charged his friends "admission" to his back garden impression shows. Also, he was busking and performing to the lines at his local cinema dressed as Charlie Chaplin (once being cautioned by police for his activities). Few would have guessed that this precocious boy would one day be feted for his own comic genius by thousands of fans, including Chaplin himself, at whose parties Field was a regular invitee.

His first professional engagement, with "The Kino Royal Juveniles", at seven shillings and sixpence (37½p) per week, came in July 1916, after his mother responded to an advert in the Birmingham Mail. He later worked as an understudy to Wee Georgie Wood in a Birmingham pantomime, then appeared in review at the Bordesley Palace and the Mission Hall in Church Road, Yardley. To assauge the young Sid's stage fright, Bertha gave him a glass of port to drink: by the age of 13, he was dependent on alcohol.

Field was unusual among comedy performers of the day, as his act was a multitude of characters and impersonations, at a time when most variety (vaudeville) acts were "one trick ponies". Despite this comedic and acting flair, it was not until he had spent decades touring provincial music halls that Field finally broke into the big time, appearing in London's West End as Slasher Green, the Cockney "wide boy" or "spiv". He became an "overnight" star.

In Strike a New Note (1943), Strike it Again (1944) and Piccadilly Hayride (1946), he had his audiences roaring with laughter. One reviewer commented that he was the only comedian who had the audience literally "falling off their seats with laughter". He was loved for his routines involving a naive approach to the billiards table and the golf course, played with his straight man, Jerry Desmonde. (For example, Desmonde, sternly, as golf pro: "Address the ball!" Field: (trying hard) "...Dear Ball....")

On 5 November 1945, Field appeared in the Royal Variety Performance. Appearing again in 1946, he became one of the few artists to make an appearance in two consecutive Royal Performances. 18 months later in 1948, Field was topping the bill at the London Palladium, replacing Mickey Rooney.

Field had a starring role in That's the Ticket (1940) but London Town (1946) is often referred to as his first film in error. Some of his best remembered sketches are preserved here. Field made another film in 1947, The Cardboard Cavalier (as Sidcup Buttermeadow), co-starring with Margaret Lockwood. However, the cinematic world was not Field's most effective medium, and his films were neither critical nor commercial successes.

It is perhaps because of this lack of recorded material, that Field is now largely forgotten. Only the three films and some recorded variety material survive. He inspired a generation of comedians and pioneered the use of character acting in comedy. He was cited as a comic favourite by Cary Grant, U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Laurence Olivier, Tony Hancock (an influence too), Eric Morecambe, Eric Sykes, Frankie Howerd and Tommy Cooper, among many others, and he was described by Bob Hope as being "probably the best comedian of them all".

His first straight role came in 1950 in Mary Chase's play Harvey, (as Elwood P. Dowd, the role played in the 1950 film by James Stewart). On 3 February 1950, during the run of this play, Field died from a heart attack at his home in Richmond, Surrey. He was aged only 45.

Later that month, a memorial service was held at London's St Martin-in-the-Fields, with lessons read by Laurence Olivier and Ted Ray. A midnight matinee benefit for his wife and children, held on 25 June 1951, was attended by the Duchess of Kent, Aneurin Bevan and Noël Coward. The cast list was stupendous: Danny Kaye, Laurence Olivier, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Orson Welles, Richard Attenborough, Jack Hylton, Bud Flanagan, Arthur Askey, Ted Ray, Tommy Trinder, all six of the original Crazy Gang, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Peter Ustinov, George Robey, cricketer Dennis Compton and many more, totalling over 240.
