Britain's first musical shot in colour and widescreen (a process called Cosmoscope) is a cabaret-style featurette centred on a group of young people in Chelsea lodgings, watched over by a fatherly caretaker. Eight specially written songs are performed by stage stars of the day – most notably Georgia Brown, who later created the role of Nancy in Oliver!
Five Guineas a Week was directed by Donald Monat and Jacques de Lane Lea.
Five Guineas a Week runs for 33min, and was released in 1956.
