O-Kay for Sound is a 1937 British comedy film directed by Marcel Varnel and starring the Crazy Gang troupe of comedians.[1] After falling on hard times the members of the Crazy Gang are busking on the streets of London. However, they are hired as extras on a film set.[2] After arriving at the studios they are mistaken for a group of potential investors and given free run of the studios, causing chaos.
The film was based on a stage work by Bert Lee and R. P. Weston.[3] It was made at Islington Studios by Gainsborough Pictures, with sets designed by the art director Alex Vetchinsky.[4]
