Mayfair Melody is a 1937 British musical film, directed by Arthur B. Woods and starring popular bass-baritone singer Keith Falkner in the first of his three screen performances.

It was made at Teddington Studios by the British subsidiary of Warner Brothers.[1] The film was a quota quickie production, featuring Falkner as a factory hand whose wonderful singing voice is discovered by the daughter of the factory owner. She then guides him up the ladder to fame and fortune as a professional singer. Mayfair Melody is now classed as a lost film.[2]
