Description Vaudevillian seaside entertainer Archie Rice is a failure in his career and as a family man. The egotistical has-been performer believes the show must go on even if that means a creaky act to an indifferent audience, stringing along his fellow performers, exploiting the hopes and money of a starlet and neglecting his own family.
