House Broken

I am inserting reviews for all films I'v seen that lack one, this was recently shown on Talking Pictures on Sky, review follows.... Deservedly obscure (not yet 5 votes, can't find it on the BBFC website) British 'comedy' the plot involves a couple of best mates who plan to go to China for an adventure, but on the eve of the trip one of them cancels announcing he is about to get married, his friend heads off alone.. It then jumps forward a couple of years, the married man is dominated by his wife, his friend returns and stays with them, as he tries to encourage his friend to be a bit more independent, the wife seeks direct advice from an 'agony aunt', then there is a farcical trip taken by 3 of them! With a better script, cast & director this may have been amusing, as it is, it isn't. Only familiar name among the cast & crew is producer Anthony Havelock-Allan only 6 years from 'In Which We Serve'.

Contrary to the view of the first reviewer there are two well known actors in the cast.Enid Stamp-Taylor was a leading actress of the era who died tragically young at 41.Jack Lambert played leading roles also and is best remembered for his role as the Sergeant in "Nine Men".It has to be admitted Lambert is very wooden in this comedy of a handpicked husband.However he rebels when he brings back an old friend.So the wife goes for advice to an agony aunt. Eventually she leaves with the friend chaperoned by the agony aunt.it's a ploy by the wife to get rid of the friend.It all ends very predictably and is only mildly amusing at timed
