Love him, love him, love him. He is the kind of song-and-dance man we don't have any more. He radiates energy and good feeling.
I'm sure I saw on TV long ago the wartime movie you referred to, Stuart, but it had a different name, something like Skylarks or Skylighters. I remember Steele in it - he was adorable. I remember a scene where he and a girl were sitting on some sacks, necking, and she complained that there was a potato poking her in the back. Is that the one, do you know?
I think I posted, maybe on the Other Site, about the time when I was on my high school paper and attended a press conference for Steele, who was in Half a Sixpence at the time. It was the best - he was so charming and interesting. I think he came to the US at the wrong time, unfortunately, when movie musicals were on the way out, and Rock was on the rise. I recall another English song-and-dance man who was around at that same time and despite appearing on many variety shows here in the US never got anywhere . . . . what was his name? Oh -- I think he was called Roy Castle. I remember him as being very good, but not quite as dynamic as Steele.

Hi Stuart, a slightly belated welcome to the boards. I think that Tommy Steele is a great talent, I only wish more of his films were released on this side of the Atlantic. I first saw him in the mid 1960's when "The Dream Maker" played at our local cinema. There was a product shortage in the American film industry at the time and a lot of British films were being imported to run on the bottom of double-bills. Thank goodness for that. It opened up a great new world for me. Anyway, I knew he had something special right there and then.
I couldn't find any credits for him in the last twenty years or more. Has he retired? I he would be in his seventies now.

sorry for this belated reply, but i'm sure the Tommy Steele film Light Up The Lights is the same film you're refering to under a different title called Skywatch. he and screen brother Benny Hill, Johnny Briggs and others operate a searchlight spotting German planes.
Steele gets married at the beginning of the film, but falls in love and gets a girl pregnant. in the end he marries the girl who has his child, calling him Winston. Winstone, also played by Steele, appears at the end nearly 20-yrs later with his dad's Commanding Officer Ian Carmichael in a cricket club bar.
