Summary

Comedy drama starring Ned Beatty and Adrian Dunbar. Micky O'Neill's job as manager of a Liverpool nightclub is on the line because of falling attendances. To save his skin, he announces that the famous Irish tenor Josef Locke who vanished decades earlier for tax reasons will be coming out of retirement to perform at the club. But has Micky booked the real Josef Locke?

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Just when you think they don't make 'em like that any more, debutant director Peter Chelsom comes along and proves that they most certainly do. This is a delicious confection, with just the right amounts of "Oirish" whimsy, scouse nous, bittersweet romance and broad comedy. Adrian Dunbar is the personification of impudent charm as the club owner seeking the tax-exiled tenor Josef Locke (played with gruff amiability by Ned Beatty). The Irish sequences get the nod over those set in Liverpool, but how could a run-in with a mystery singer hope to compete with a runaway cow? This is a treat.
