Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Half a Sixpence is a 1967 British musical film directed by George Sidney starring Tommy Steele, Julia Foster and Cyril Ritchard. It was choreographed by Gillian Lynne. The screenplay by Beverley Cross is adapted from his book for the 1963 stage musical of the same name, which was based on Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul, the 1905 novel by H. G. Wells. The music and lyrics are by David Heneker. This was the final film made by Sidney, and also the last film appearance of actor Hilton Edwards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
