I thought back down the long years and decided that I must have seen it around 1958. A quick search brought forth the following web page on the 1958 film 'A Cry from the Streets' with Max Bygraves, Barbara Murray and Dana Wilson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Cry_from_the_Streets There's an interesting photograph of Max Bygraves at Little Paradise, Bedminster taken in the 1950s when he was performing at the Bristol Hippodrome: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brizzlebornandbred/7566871016/ Josephine

It's true that he once lived at Bournemouth or Poole but I rather think it was at Canford Cliffs and not Sandbanks. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Famous family trees blog: http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/tag/roy-stockdill/ "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
