Leave your thoughts about Oh, Mr. Porter!.
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThis amusing story is necessarily extravagant, but it is not without coherence. It gives Will Hay admirable opportunities for displaying his unique comicalities and he takes them with both hands. |
| User ReviewChris BA childhood favourite of mine and a timeless classic. Definitely one of Will Hay's best comedies. |
| User ReviewDonald MA much loved British comedy classic.The team of Hay,Moffat and Marriot rivalled any of the American stuff...You're wastin' your time!...the windmill...the pub fight...One eyed Joe. |
| User ReviewKeefie JFirst saw it when i was about 4 years old, and have loved it ever since. |
| User ReviewSimon RA light-hearted comedy that seems to have been a basis for Dad's Army and Hot Fuzz. Full reccomendation!!!! *Goes to watch it again* |
| User ReviewEd EOk it looks really corny now, but the one film me and my dad both loved ! That station Buggleskelly always reminds me of the one near to where i lived in Kent. A bit non PC now but that bit on the windmill always makes me laugh ! |
| User ReviewPaul SAlong with Graham Moffatt and Moore Marriott, the UK'S answer to the Marx Brothers. |
| User ReviewSteve G'Next train's gone!' Simple, gentle humour from an age that we miss dearly... |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis is truly a gem of pre-war British Comedy. While Overseas had Chaplin & Keaton we championed with the Great Will Hay - With Oh Mr Porter you have his greatest Hour (and a half). From the Train Time gag sat on the tracks to The Windmill scene - The Film is Pure Gold. Buggleskelly 1937 is where the fun is at..Oh and this film..Not Thomas the tank Engine got me into Trains a 8 year old! A Steaming 5/5!! 'Your Wasting Yaaaaar Time! he he he he' |
| User ReviewIan GYou won't be wasting your time watching this, hilarious from start to finish |
