'Southern Roses' is an entertaining musical in which a crew of sailors attend a dining hall concert at a hotel in Barcelona, Spain. Reggie (Neil Hamilton) sets his eyes on singer Mary Rowland (Gina Malo) and complications ensue. The solution to Mary's mind is to usher masked singer Estrella Estrello (Chili Bouchier) into the arms of prize catch Bill (Richard Dolman). 'Roses From The South' - Richard Tauber
'Southern Roses' brings together a talented international cast and crew to elevate the typical British fare of the day. It's directed by operetta specialist Frederic Zelnik, filmed by American cinematographer Philip Tannura and features music by Austrian composer Hans May. The co-leads are Ziegfeld Girl Gina Malo of Cincinnati, Ohio and popular English superstarlet Chili Bouchier. The sets designed by Fred Pusey conceal some nice surprises including trap doors. |

Neil Hamilton, he went from being A-list to Z-list very quickly, I didn't know he went to England and made a musical though. I read he tried to commit suicide once, as he got no roles. As a flash from a blue sky he suddenly got known again, for playing the dumbest Commissioner Gordon ever in the cult classic TV-series Batman.  |

I love the 'Batman' tv show! |

He looks a bit different in his younger days in 'Southern Roses' but then the roles were decades apart. There's no way I'd have put two & two together without you telling me. Watching the movie, I kept thinking "I know this theme" as the title song was playing ... then I realised it's a waltz by Johann Strauss. |
