Shipyard Sally is a 1939 British musical comedy film directed by Monty Banks and starring Gracie Fields, Sydney Howard and Norma Varden.[2] The film is notable for the song "Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Goodbye", which became a major hit.[3]
Sally, a failed music hall performer, and her father take over a pub near the John Brown & Company shipyard at Clydebank. When the closure of the yard threatens to put many out of work she leads a campaign to persuade the government to reconsider the decision.
Made shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, it was Fields' last British film.[4] It was shot at Islington Studios with sets designed by Alex Vetchinsky.[5]
