LOOK UP AND LAUGH (1935)

Shortly after Vivien's play had closed in March 1935, she was cast by Associated British Film Distributors at Ealing as the ingenue in a film to star Gracie Fields. This black and white film had taken four weeks of Vivien's time and it was considered "skillful and entertaining."
