Raising the Wind*     
(GB 1961)     
Anglo Amalgamated. 91m.

A student at a London music academy almost ruins his studies by creating a hit record that would expel him.                        
Sweet-natured but tepid rehash of Doctor in the House for the music world (with added Carry On elements), with the same character types, the same actors playing them, and even the same college (University College London) used.

Starring: Leslie Phillips, James Robertson Justice, Paul Massie, Jennifer Jayne, Liz Fraser, Kenneth Williams, Jimmy Thompson, Eric Barker, Sidney James, Lance Percival, Esma Cannon, Geoffrey Keen, David Lodge, Jim Dale.
