Santa enlists a wonderfully eclectic roll-call of glamorous Hollywood A-listers and English eccentrics to bring festive greetings to 1930s cinema patrons. Appearing framed in a Christmas wreath are Tinseltown stars Ginger Rogers, 'handsome cowboy' Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard, and some oddly-matched homegrown talent: comics Will Hay and Stanley Lupino and ukelele-toting George Formby.
