March 2022
I have also reviewed the very similar and equally as likeable film "fast lady" which also starred the same 3 actors as this one, although a totally unrelated film.
Like that one, this is great, so much fun, Ronnie Barker also has a major role, and i just wonder if the Tom Hanks film "money pit" was possibly inspired by this, its a similar story anyway.
Extra notable for me is the main female lead is played by Sally Smith, who i suppose remains largely unknown, but about 5 years after this she did have the starring role in a fun giallo called "naked you die", which i happen to be a fan of.
Great great fun for all the family with many of the usual likeable actors from the period.
9.5 out of 10.
