Enjoyable British Comedy
By Mr Nightmare-on-Elm-Street from Suffolk, England , 31 Oct 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
This film is neither Norman Wisdom 'classic' nor a complete bomb. It is a perfectly enjoyable classic British Comedy staring a host of superb homegrown actors including the ever-delightful Norman Wisdom. He plays the familiar comic buffoon character except this one is something of a cad and will stop at nothing to get the girl. There is a scene where his character has a fit of giggles, which is so Wisdom and there’s plenty of knockabout action too. It is interesting to see Wisdom in a straighter role, and proves he could do more serious acting. If you are fan of Wisdom's (as I am) no doubt you will enjoy it. The special features even include a commentary by the great man. Though it is more of an interview and given that he is now in his 90's he does have trouble remembering insights from the film and instead gives autobiographical reminiscences from his life. Which of course to any fan are interesting to hear, though its sad to think that he may not be long with us.
It was also fun to see a very youthful Richard Briars, who stars as Wisdom's sidekick best friend.
Overall this film is funny and comfy and so comes well recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?
