Curtain Up (1952)
Director: Ralph Smart
Movie review

Intriguing potboiler set in the world of seaside rep (adapted from Philip King's play On Monday Next): Morley and Rutherford, two of the dottiest character actors in the British movie firmament, are given rare leading roles. He's a hectoring director, she's the equally stubborn playwright whose latest, quite atrocious work the company's mounting for purely mercenary reasons.Author: GM
