Davy

Davy is a 1958 British comedy-drama film directed by Michael Relph and starring Harry Secombe, Alexander Knox and Ron Randell. It was the last comedy to be made by Ealing Studios and had the distinction of being the first British film in Technirama. Already a popular British radio personality on The Goon Show, Davy was intended to launch Harry Secombe's solo career, but it was only moderately successful. Peter Frampton, who plays young Tim was the son of Harry Frampton: Makeup artist for many years at Ealing. He would eventually follow in his father's footsteps: working as his assistant on several films, including Hitchcock's Frenzy. In 1995, Peter Frampton won the Oscar® for Best Makeup for Braveheart. He remembered his filming on Davy fondly, as "it meant time off school and star treatment."
