Extraordinary
By a customer from Oxfordshire, England , 29 Mar 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Vivian Stanshal the writer (aso performs) is extremely perculiar. Apart from a reference to digital watches this film could be set any time after WWII. It is a beautiful piece of work, although very odd. In order to appreciate it properly you need to watch it several times, but it will be worth it. There is something Gillianesque although this film probably pre-dates Brazil. Shot in black and white. Trevor Howard gives a great performance (as do all) 'I don't know what I want but I want it NOW'- Was this review helpful to you?

Forgotten gem
By Custardbanjo (30 reviews) from Lincoln , 19 May 2009Vivian Stanshall touched on the the surreal, and comically violent, underbelly of what it is to be (or used to be) English.
Also try to get hold of the original BBC Radio recordings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Henry_At_Rawlinso n_End ...Even better than the film.
This is a comic masterpiece.- Was this review helpful to you?

Fantastic.
By a customer from Attleborough , 14 Dec 2008Brilliantly surreal, driven by Stanshall’s superb narration. Fantastic characters and none more so than Trevor Howard’s Sir Henry, a sizzled toff who shot his gardener after he broke a leg, keeps German POWs in a compound in his garden, has an optics set installed on his canoe and is haunted by the trouserless ghost of his dead brother, Humbert. Some great one liners too:
'Generally speaking, if I've eaten something I don't want to see it again'
'I never met a man I didn't mutilate'
'If I had all the money I've spent on drink, I'd spend it on drink'
'If I want your opinion I'll thrash it out of you'- Was this review helpful to you?

Only for the true Stanshall fan
By a customer from Sidmouth , 31 Jul 2008Only fans of Viv Stanshall will enjoy this, and only then for old time's sake. This is a wierd film, quirky at best.- Was this review helpful to you?

Customer Review
By a customer from UK , 23 Jun 2008Obscure SSurreal refreshing and un PC. Splendid, what can one expect from such a genius as The Ginger Geezer.
Loved its sepia home made style. Everything. Oh such a shame he left this earth prematurely, surely he could have never become dull and mainsteam.- Was this review helpful to you?
