Petula Clark in, “The Runaway Bus”

As I’ve said before, I feel that Petula Clark’s career is one of the most impressive ever in popular entertainment. She started as an endearing child star in England, developed into a sexy adult actress, then became an international singing superstar — which was where we caught up with her in the States — and she’s still going strong!

I’ve spliced together about ten minutes of Petula as Lee Nicholls, a perky and resourceful stewardess in a 1954 comic caper flick, “The Runaway Bus”. It’s not the greatest print, but at least it’s available in the U.S., including Netflix.

Oh, dear. Did I hear Pet ask for some uppers? No wonder she was so perky!

For a much more recent view of Petula, here’s a link recommended by David Moncur. Turn it up!
