Sir Norman Wisdom is perhaps best known in terms of films for those he made for the Rank organisation, so this film remains a bit of a rare gem.
What's nice about it is that we get to see Norman play something a bit different from the Gump character he played in the Rank films. It's a different sort of role, but he excels in it.
The story is well paced, and there's some funny moments ('We're British'), not to mention a whole string of well known faces for audiences to look at and go "oh, don't they look young".
Sir Norman is much missed.
