The Gang Show

The Gang Show is a 1937 British musical film about a Boy Scout Troop who stage a variety show to raise funds, when the lease of their meeting place expires.

The film was a vehicle for material from Ralph Reader's Gang Shows that had been successful on the stage in London's West End since 1932; the songs included the Gang Show anthem; "Crest of a Wave". Shot at Pinewood Studios, the film premiered at the Lyceum Theatre, London on 13 April 1937, the only occasion that the theatre was used as a cinema. It was released in New York in December 1938 under the shortened title The Gang.
