Synopsis:

Comedy legends Terry-Thomas and Barry Humphries star in this hilarious 1975 madcap musical, featuring the cream of the British pop scene and directed by Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy). The dull little town of Sludgley has never seen anything like it, as two sleazy rival nightclubs go to war with each other! The council has discovered that, by ancient law, there can only be one nightclub in the town - and now the two clubs are in fierce competition to somehow book the very best acts in Britain and win the licence!

Bruce Beresford directs this 1970s musical comedy starring Barry Humphries and Terry Thomas. In the small town of Sludgley, two nightclubs try to outdo each other by booking the best British bands they can get hold of when the local authorities uncover an age-old law that means only one of them can remain open. The film includes performances by Mud, The Rubettes, Kenny and many others.

Centered around a pair of rival, side-by-side nightclubs with clashing tastes in live music, this British musical-comedy is constructed around a typical, Ealing-style premise, but the botched end result lacks wit, style or laughs.
