A funny movie

Critics may lambaste this low budget flick - but i love it! - and this film still remains one of my all time favourite classic comedies (alongside 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles'.)Aimed primarily at a British audience - it may err on the side of British humour which other nationalities may find hard to understand the humour. I have to say that i laughed from start to finish with the script! What more can i say?..... Give it a watch - you will either love it or hate it! - but you certainly can't forget it! Lesley Phillips certainly fulfils his role as the Eccentric British funny-man. The film is not made out to be a classic but i feel that if you are after the humour and not flashy sets and Hollywood A-list actors, then its worth a watch! The film is certainly for an era gone by, but writing on behalf of the Eighties something generation - it is surprisingly hilarious!

Wot - no vicar!

OK, it's not nearly as funny as NOT NOW DARLING but if you enjoy a good old fashioned farce, you'll enjoy this. It's not Carry On type humour and it's definitely not one of those appalling sex comedies, it's the sort of thing you'd watch at a theatre and laugh so hard it hurts.Like a lot of comedy plays however which work brilliantly on the stage, it loses the intimacy when put on film. Sharing the same space, being in the same room as actors makes live comedy personal and special which can't quite be captured on celluloid. Nevertheless this almost works. Despite its slow start, it builds up to the most wonderfully silly crescendo when nobody is quite sure who they're having to pretend to be, why they're there and why a policeman is chasing them.Sophisticated subtle and thought provoking this is not. Three dimensional believable characters acted with emotion and pathos, this does not provide. None of that matters because it's just fun in the tradition of Will Hay or The Aldwych Farces of the 1930s up to the more recent ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS. For a mid-seventies film, it's also refreshingly good clean fun - as I said, this is not one of those tawdry, smutty sex comedies popular back then. The roots of this style of comedy goes all the way back to the old music halls - the roots of this particular film was a stage play in the mid sixties.Don't expect a traditional film with proper movie acting and traditional movie sets, except a filmed live comedy show. Expect a crazy hour and a half of traditional seaside postcard innuendo, the obligatory man losing his trousers (although not in front of the usual embarrassed vicar), exasperated people running in and out of rooms, mistaken identity and of course Leslie Phillips.Disappointing after the first NOT NOW picture but still an absolute delight.
