Plot summary

When Dexter Munro and his new wife Juliet get married, they decide to escape Juliet's meddling father by buying a rundown cottage and doing it up themselves. But when the cottage proves to be more ramshackle than they thought, and the scale of the repairs needed far out of their budget, the newlyweds are forced into calling on Juliet's father after all. Before long he's employed incompetent builder Josh Wicks, and the situation goes from bad to worse.

Father Came Too

Are you "Clairvoyant".How do you know, it will raise a smile, not a laugh, on a wet Sunday afternoon.It is not a sequel, to The Fast Lady.That was a lot more amusing.I enjoyed the Doctor Movies.The Doctor series on ITV, was nothing like the Movies. Some titles were fictitious.James Robertson Justice, was in a lot of other films.I found Doctor In Clover funny.In Doctor In The House.The "Bleeding Time time joke is ambiguous.It can mean 'Bloody Time' or time for a clot to form.I have read Donald Sinden's Autobiography.He, and the other doctors, were invited to the studio. This was for filming a 20 second silent piece, to cover the laughter.Although, most reviews were inferior. Humour is subjective.

Father Came Too!

I think this might be described as a film that didn't quite realise the sum of it's parts. A strong British comedy line up, but a rather thin plot and comedy that bordered just a bit too much on slapstick for my liking. "Sally" (Julie Munro) and "Dexter" (Stanley Baxter) are newlyweds trying to - thriftily - do up their rather ramshackle cottage that they bought from "Chipfield" (Leslie Philips). Enter her father, the wealthy and somewhat domineering "Sir Beverley" who imposes himself on the young couple - and on their wily builders - with predictably disastrous results. It is probably half an hour too long this, the jokes are there but you can see the punchlines from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Characterful, though - there is some chemistry on screen and a host of well-known faces (many from history!) keep the film moving along OK from one set-piece to the next. You might not recall watching it shortly afterwards, but it's an amusing enough 90 minutes that reminds you of the old adage - "nobody over 50 ought ever to go up a ladder!"

And He Can Go, Too

Newlyweds Stanley Baxter and Sally Smith have been staying her father's home. Unfortunately, he's James Robertson Justice playing another Great Man. This time he's a great actor, with pictures of him in costume scattered about the house, and busts, too. Baxter can't stand it any more, so he and Miss Smith purchase a rundown cottage and try to rehabilitate it. But Robertson keeps poking his nose in, and there are a lot of popular clowns of the era in this one, so the inevitable series of comic disasters take place. With Leslie Phillips a the estate agent, Ronnie Barker as the builder, and Raymond Huntley stealing his three scenes without speaking a word, it's the sort of movie about young people without enough money for their dream house.

Mostly, though, it's bright and funny for the first half, with Justice playing his supercilious character with his usual comic dash. The final crisis is all right, but with so many people fighting for screen time, it comes off a bit mechanical.
