Davy is a 1958 British comedy-drama film directed by Michael Relph and starring Harry Secombe, Alexander Knox and Ron Randell.

[4] Davy was intended to launch the solo career of Harry Secombe, who was already a popular British radio personality on The Goon Show, but it was only moderately successful.

"[13] Secombe later wrote "part of the reason why Davy failed to impress was the fact that it was billed as a ‘zany’ type movie, overemphasizing the comedy content, whereas it was mostly a dramatic story.

"[14] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "An uneasy combination of broad farce and crude backstage melodrama, this rather sad production further suffers from a most clumsy and disjointed script.

In the circumstances even a cast compacted of hard workers and well-tried character-players can make little impression, The good-natured Harry Secombe, though over-strident as both singer (Puccini's Nessun Dorma ) and comic, does manage to impart a superficial vitality to the proceedings.

"[16] Leslie Halliwell wrote: "Curiously unsuccessful vehicle for a popular singing comic; the script and continuity are simply poor, and swamped by the wide screen.

"[18] The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "It's a shamelessly sentimental affair that gave Harry Secombe an opportunity to prove there was life outside The Goon Show, as he has to decide whether to stick with the family's struggling music-hall act or seize his chance by auditioning for opera supremo Alexander Knox at Covent Garden.
