''Ferry Cross the Mersey'' is a 1965 musical film featuring Gerry and the Pacemakers. The film, directed by Jeremy Summers, is one of the more uncommon artifacts of the Mersey scene, shown very rarely on television and never issued on video. It was the first to be shot on location in Liverpool after the city's emergence into the music mainstream (which had previously seen only Frankie Vaughan, Russ Hamilton, and Billy Fury as stars). For authenticity, many scenes were shot in clubs near the home of Gerry and the Pacemakers' frontman Gerry Marsden. A scene on a ferry (the ''Mountwood'') on the River Mersey showed the docks as a backdrop. Marsden wrote nine new songs for the film which also starred Julie Samuel, Cilla Black singing "Is it Love?", Jimmy Savile, and The Fourmost. Future ''Doctor Who'' actress Elisabeth Sladen appeared in the film as an uncredited extra. The song "Ferry Cross the Mersey" was written by Gerry Marsden as the theme song for the film. As of March 2014, the film has never seen a commercial release. Neil Aspinall owned the rights to the movie in the past before his death.
