Hoots Mon! is a 1940 British comedy film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Max Miller, Florence Desmond and Hal Walters.[1] It follows an English comedian who attempts his luck on the Scottish stage, and develops a rivalry with a local performer. Miller sings "The Charabanc Song" and his signature tune "Mary from the Dairy".
Production
[edit]The film was produced at Teddington Studios by Warner Brothers' British subsidiary. To comply with the 1927 Films Act the company was obliged to distribute a number of British-made films each year, and during the 1930s the company produced a large quantity of films at Teddington. It was the ninth and final film that the music hall star Miller made for Warner Brothers.
The film's sets were by Norman Arnold, the resident art director at Teddington.
