There's No Business...
Synopsis
There's No Business... is a 1994 British partially improvised comedy film directed by Kevin Molony and produced by Claudia Lloyd for Prospect Pictures. It stars Raw Sex (Simon Brint and Rowland Rivron) as Ken Bishop and his stepson Duane, and Lee Cornes as their musical agent Dickie Valentino, in their attempt to remake a track by Ken's old band, 'The Nice Twelve' for a TV advert for 'Pinkies', a brand of kitchen gloves made by Mort Clayton (Mac McDonald). Alexander Armstrong (Tim) and Sam Graham (Fergus) work for the fictional advertising agency Sprote and Sprote. The film takes its name from the 1954 film There's No Business Like Show Business which itself borrowed the 1946 song of the same name by Irving Berlin, written for the musical Annie Get Your Gun.

User Reviews

The film has had very few critical reviews. It has no entry on Rotten Tomatoes. Andrew O'Neill opens a brief appreciation with the words "No one knows about this film, and that's a fucking tragedy." Rivron and Brint's film "includes pretty much every one of the under-appreciated acts from the first wave of alternative comedy." Brint wrote "music for pretty much every comedy show in the '80s and '90s, but here he is piss-funny as the understated keyboardist and bandleader Ken Bishop." > Source: https://en.everybodywiki.com/There%27s_No_Business..._(1994_film)
