A Date with a Dream

A Date with a Dream is a 1948 British musical comedy film directed by Dicky Leeman and starring Terry-Thomas, Jeannie Carson and Wally Patch.

Its plot concerns a wartime group of musical entertainers who meet up a year after being demobbed and decide to reform their act.

"[6] Kine Weekly wrote: "The team try hard to make good-humoured fun of theatrical folk – irascible managers, explosive booking agents, penniless artistes and suspicious landladies – but their gags lack originality and spontaneity.

"[7] In The Radio Times Guide to Films David Parkinson gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "In only his second credited role, Terry-Thomas starred in this feeble comedy with brothers Len and Bill Lowe, playing the members of an ENSA trio who reunite after the war to revive their hopes of showbiz success.

The nightclub routines are pretty awful and director Dicky Leeman hasn't a clue how to structure a narrative.
