Bobbikins is the chatty offspring of a befuddled Max Bygraves, who was probably the big attraction for cinemagoers in early 60s Britain. He sings, he dances, he cracks limp jokes, and you have to be grateful that the Beatles forever changed the face of British pop music (Matt Monro notwithstanding). This film is eminently missable but it does feature a very early appearance of the enchanting Barbara Shelley and the supporting cast is excellent: a 34 year old Lionel Jeffries (already thoroughly bald!), Billie Whitelaw, and Michael Ripper all are on hand for trainspotters.
