A Tale of Two Formbys

by Harry on April 25, 2008

For our many George Formby fans, the first of a two part bio of George Formbys Sr and Jr. Less mournful than the bio of Kenneth Williams, and more hard-hitting than the one on the SWP (though that’s not saying much!). Here’s George jr, with his greatest hit of all.

Hmmm … not so many fans.

I’m told Formby entertained troops in S Africa, singing in English, Afrikaans and Southern Ndebele.

That Cleaning Windows clip is a bit … pervy. A peeping tom watches on as an ugly man pleasures a woman with the strumming of his instrument while recounting his own exploits as a peeping tom. And she then gets invited to bed … by accident!

Out of context, of course. But saucy.
