Inn for Trouble

The Larkins think they've got it made when they're given a Country pub, Ye Earl of Osborne to look after, the trouble is it comes with several complications.

I suppose if you're a fan of The Larkins, you'll probably enjoy this low budget comedy caper. Personally I have been a fan of this film for some years, long before I even saw an episode of the TV series.

I've been working my way though The Larkins, and this felt like the right time to revisit In for Trouble. It's gentle, breezy humour, good wholesome comedy.

I found it funny in general, even Eddie was well utilised, sometimes on the TV series he's made to be a little too wet.

Peggy Mount steals the show (let's be honest, when didn't she) as Ada, the domineering matriarch, the force at the head of the family, naturally she spends most of the film barking orders at poor Alf.

David Kossoff is so good as henpecked husband Alf, he plays the part so well. So many familiar faces in small roles, watch for Leslie Phillips, Irene Handl, Charles Hawtrey and Esma Cannon, all relatively minor roles, but all good value.

8/10.
