Description:A group of friends from Manchester (Herman's Hermits) try to earn money to enter the grayhound Mrs. Brown into a dog race. They make some of the money by forming a band, with limited success. Band leader Herman pines for Judy, a model who is more interested in her career than him. Tulip, Herman's next-door-neighbor pines for him. The dog qualifies for the big race in London, but the Herman loses him in a railway station while saying good-bye to Judy.When a beggar the band befriends finds the dog weeks later, she's pregnant. The movie ends back in Manchester, with the gang failing both as a band and as dog owners, but together and happy.
My Rating:5

Review - Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter

Not enough of the Herman's Hermit's music to be a successful musical. For example, the title song is not sung all the way through, and when it is sung, Herman sings it to his dog and not to Judy's mother, who also happens to be Mrs. Brown. Not enough plot or romance to make me care about the characters. It works best, to the extent that it works at all, as a travelogue of Manchester and London in the mid-1960's.
