Revue star Tony Tanner is forgotten today but starred in a handful of early sixties movies and in 1966 was entrusted with taking over the lead from Anthony Newley for the film version of 'Stop the World I Want to Get Off!'
It's easy to imagine Newley in this, although Tanner also rather resembles Norman Wisdom scurrying about Soho in this strange departure for director Vernon Sewell between thrillers which now seems as long ago as the Victorian era. However, one of the girls at the night club Tanner visits mentions getting home to see 'Coronation Street', which reminds us that it's all just within living memory.
