Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Brian Rix was a huge stage star in British 'whitehall farces' — this film was essentially his screen audition.
The title's 'clanger' is British slang for a conspicuous mistake — the film was released as 'Make Me a Star' in the US because Americans wouldn't get it.
