Wallace Arnold tours meets 'Its a MAD MAD MAD World'

Well when I last saw this one I was wearing Green check trousers and an Orange nylon jumper. Got to be at least 25 years. Ouch. But this one has worn rather better than me.

From memory I was expecting a sort of American Carry On movie - and I suppose this isn't a bad comparison. But the jokes are still funny - quite sharp infact at times. The acting isn't too OTT - no Kenneth Williams mugging here - and the scenery of an as yet unspoilt Europe was a nice reminder of what Europe used to be like.

Yes - the plot is pretty 'souffle' (light, sags in the middle) - but Ian McShane holds it together. Infact , both me and the wife were at a loss as to why I.M. never made it mega-big. He had a lot going for him back then, and he's aged well.

Worth a watch - should bring back some memories for any who first got to know Europe on a coach tour (Wallace Arnold as in my case).

Trivia
(Words flashed on a wall at a discotheque): "God is dead."- Nietzsche. (Following words): "Nietzsche is dead."-God.

Goofs
When Charlie (Ian McShane) is showing his charges the spot marked "Scaffold" where Henry VIII had two of his wives executed, Charlie walks into the shot just before it cuts to a montage of other British images. His comments about the execution of Henry's wives initially match Charlie's lip movements. But as a voiceover of Peggy Cass posing a question intervenes, Charlie keeps talking, but no sound is heard coming from his mouth for the balance of the shot.

Quotes
Charlie Cartwright: [Talking to the tour group on the bus] This tiny country of Holland is famous for Rembrandt, the tulip, the Edam cheese... also for Van Gogh, Dutch chocolate, Dutch beer, Dutch cleanser, the Dutch treat, the Dutch door, the Dutch uncle... In fact, folks, you're in Dutch!

Crazy credits
"The End" title card initially looks like just any other title card. However, the camera zooms out and reveals that it is a picture hanging on a wall. The character played by Aubrey Morris (the kleptomaniac) enters and removes it from the wall, trying conspicuously to hide it in his coat. He walks off and the screen fades out.
