"If I had the money, I`d buy me a banjo!" says struggling sales clerk Arthur Kipps (Tommy Steele). Soon he`ll inherit enough to buy a whole bloomin` orchestra. But can his new-found wealth buy happiness?

Multi-talented Steele brings his London and New York stage smash to the screen in this big, cheerful tune-filled production based on H.G. Wells` charming novel Kipps. Cyril Ritchard co-stars as a thespian who introduces Arthur to the joys of Edwardian London`s music halls. And a huge cast of high-stepping, high-spirited singers and dancers have the time of their lives. Enjoy, because Half A Sixpence gets you a million dollars worth of fun!
