It's All Happening (film)

It's All Happening (also known as The Dream Maker) is a 1963 British musical film directed by Don Sharp and starring Tommy Steele, Michael Medwin and Angela Douglas.

Angela Douglas, who has a leading role, recalled in her memoirs that Steele "was terrific, making me feel good, putting me at ease" and that "they were a marvelous crew, fun and relaxed.

But that tired old script, topped up by some unpleasant scenes jibing at an ugly girl, and an over-long final parade of singers, makes the uphill grind rather too hard, even for Tommy Steele.

"[8] Variety said "The warmly exuberant personality of Tommy Steele, plus some polished, slick performances by guest top pop United Kingdom artists, solidly jacks up a lazy, old-fashioned and flabby screenplay by Leigh Vance.

"[9] The Radio Times called the film "sentimental hokum...The songs sound as though they were knocked out on a slow afternoon on Denmark Street, London's very own Tin Pan Alley.
