| User ReviewClaire Tit was a funny film, I loved it, it starred Norman Wisdom, I thought he was very funny and I will love it on DVD, I loved this movie it's great funny film, it was directed by Robert Asher |
| User ReviewNat GNorman Wisdom was one of the top comedians during the 1950's and 1960's, and made 14 films for The Rank Organisation. This would be his last film for Rank before he had a brief move to America to perform on Broadway. It's an amusing little film, and Wisdom's comedy timing and likeable performance keeps this going. It has paperboy Norman Shields (Wisdom) being assigned by his Grandfather, who is also the Prime Minister (also Wisdom). to a new job as a newspaper reporter in the seaside town of Tinmouth. There, Norman is working for newspaper editor Mr. Ross (David Lodge), and is sent out to cover various local events, but nothing goes to plan. Norman is able to get into all sorts of trouble while on the job, including inadvertantly causing an argument during a local council meeting, wrecking a house during a grand opening and crashing a bus into the harbour. But, Norman falls for Liz Corcoran (Frances White), daughter of local councillor Alderman Corcoran (Derek Francis), and wants to help her win the local beauty contest. It's not Wisdom's best film, but it is a good timepiece of what life and society was like back in the 1960's, and it has some good laughs throughout. You don't get family entertainment like this anymore, this was from a more wholesome, innocent time. |
| User ReviewPaul DNorman Wisdom (who also plays his Mother and Grandfather) joins a local paper as a reporter where he creates havoc. More silly slapstick although this does make some satirical points about council politics, the film is attractively filmed in colour on location in Teignmouth (names Tinmouth for the film) and there are a host of welcome faces in support including Stanley Unwin, Peter Jones, Derek Francis, Michael Bilton and Tony Selby. Mike Vickers' score is also jauntily appealing. |
| User ReviewGreg WJust the sort of thing Norman Wisdom js remembered for but hardly a classic. |
