Featured review
Turned out nice again
A compendium of British comedy films from the 1930s to the 1970s compiled by Herbert Wilcox and Michael Grade.Contrary to the comments of an American reviewer I not only remember all the artistes but actually saw some of them live and I am nowhere near eighty.There was no narration on the copy that I watched,there are a few introductory cards for certain sections.The problem with this film is that too many sequences are too short to get into,with the except in the case of Sid Field.This is unfortunate because I am not keen on Field.A fair number of the films featured were in colour but the film is totally black and white.
