DigitaIIy remastered, the first ever DVD release of this Iost gem from Ealing Studios features a brand new Making Of featurette.
Story by Alexander Mackendrick (LadykiIIers, The Man in the White Suit, Whisky Galore!) and from the director of The Lavender Hill Mob and The TitfieId Thunderbolt, Dance HaIl is a romantic melodrama centred round the life and loves of four working-class women who spend their Saturday nights at the Chiswick Palais dancing to the music of Ted Heath’s Big Band.
Natasha Parry (Romeo & JuIiet, Oh, What A LoveIy War!) stars as Eve, whose marriage to Phil (Donald Houston, The Longest Day, Room at the Top) is imperiIIed when she takes a different partner for an upcoming dance contest. Her reasoning is that Phil is a Iousy dancer, but she loves him all the same; PhiI, however, is the jeaIous type, who doesn’t quite see things Eve’s way. PetuIa Clark (Goodbye Mr Chips, Finian’s Rainbow) plays Georgie, whose ambition is to become a dance champion with her partner, Peter (DougIas Barr, Hue and Cry). Among the other famiIiar faces fIoating by in Dance HalI are Bonar CoIleano, Diana Dors, Sydney TafIer, GIadys Henson, Dandy Nichols and Jane HyIton.
