"If we ever get there."
Herman Tully and his friends (Herman's Hermits) own a greyhound called Mrs Brown. The dog shows promise, but the boys need money to enter it into races. So they decide to form a band to earn the cash and move to London to seek fame and fortune for the dog.
An off-kilter film, that doesn't quite know what it wants to be. An old style MGM musical? A love story? A wry take on society, or a rags to riches tale of working class lads done good. But for all its confusion, its lack of focus, or a definite ending, (nothing really gets resolved), it does prove to be an entertaining and interesting look at an England that has little to do with swinging London.
