I gather that these two will retard your search for any other Hiltons....Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-15739272160527200172017-07-28T10:38:33.465-04:002017-07-28T10:38:33.465-04:00As I recall, Petula Clark's hit song was from ...As I recall, Petula Clark's hit song was from that flick--<i>To Sir With Love</i>.

CHIPS is a very sentimental book as I recall - I prefer the movie version if truth be told. And indeed, it was recently remade for TV with Martin Clunes and worked nicely,. the musical with Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark, despite a screenplay by Terrence Rattigan, sadly was not so great ...Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
