This was a popular film in my house when I was a child. My takeaway was that it's better to put your pennies in the bank than to give them to poor people. Also, a red carnation in the lapel is becoming. People have always told me that there's some other lesson to be taken, but I haven't found it yet. Perhaps they're talking about how great it would be to have a cannon on the roof?
I still sing this song at my wife on occasion, just as a reminder of what it's like to be me.
How Lordly is the life I lead

I love this movie, but as a child saw it in the theatre right around the first time i went to england to visit my grandfather. we spent time in london and saw some of the same things in the movie, so for the longest time, i had a hard time separating which was the reality of the visit, and which was what i'd seen in the movie.
