This is a stretch (I am totally baffled):
Some of the jokes that George tells before the start of the second act, (and the flat cap trick) in front of the red curtain, are old George Formby's double entendre jokes he told standing before the red curtain................hence why George in BETM is called that name...................

That's it Pat!
George Formby's real name was Booth but he took the same stage name as his father used in his own musical hall career.
And as a bonus question ....can anyone find the connection between this connection (the song) and something Stephen Daldry has directed that is unconnected with BETM? The connection is a who...

An Inspector Calls

Re: Name this movie
Yes...one of those 6 contains the link to "The Barmaid at the Rose and Crown".
