What happens
Things Are Looking Up is a 1935 British musical comedy film directed by Albert de Courville and starring Cicely Courtneidge, Max Miller and William Gargan. It was written by Con West and Stafford Dickens from a story by Daisy Fisher and de Courville. It was produced by Michael Balcon for Gaumont British. Courtneidge plays a dual role as the sisters Bertha and Cicely Fytte. Bertha is a dour schoolteacher, while the bubbly Cicely runs a nearby circus. When Bertha elopes, Cicely takes her place at the school to prevent her from getting the sack. It was the film debut for Vivien Leigh. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
