Our second Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode sees the rising young star second-billed as the love\xa0interest in a couple of strange enterprises:\xa0Command Performance\xa0(1937), a vehicle for popular American tenor Arthur Tracy, and\xa0Crackerjack\xa0(1938), an unhinged crime comedy starring Aldwych farces alumnus Tom Walls as a criminal superhero. As Lilli tries to orient herself in film acting, Dave and Elise try to orient themselves in this unfamiliar territory of 30s British cinema\xa0and its popular figures.\xa0
