Pre war enjoyable romp set in and around t'mills, with Stanley Holloway and Will Fyffe (In 1947, while recovering from surgery, he accidentally fell to his death from a hotel window after being stricken with dizziness!) being bitter rival mill owners forced to join forces to win an American contract over the Japanese (my how times have changed) to supply finished cotton products, reckoned then to be the finest in the world. (ditto)

Various larks on the way to get both of them to see reason, one being the crowning of the Cotton Queen, which takes place on the annual Wakes Week at the Bell Vue stadium, zoo and pleasure grounds.

Also starred a very young Jimmy Hanley, with his love interest being played by a Mary Lawson, who I hadn't heard of, but little wonder as she was killed 4 years later with her husband in a German bombing raid on Liverpool - how sad, and bit parts for Esma Cannon and Bill Shine sans tash, who I didn't recognise.

Worth a look.
