Customer Reviews

Old-fashioned yet still very funny British comedy
These are great films that I recommend watching on a Sunday afternoon in with your kids (mine were in hysterics). Will Hay plays the pompous yet incompetent authority figure effortlessly especially as a schoolteacher in a rowdy classroom. He definitely ranks alongside pre-war greats such as Laurel and Hardy, The Marx Brothers and Chaplin as a comic icon of film.

The 2 films on offer here are both very funny:
'Ask A Policeman' has Hay play Sergeant Dudfoot with his famous sidekicks Moore Mariott (the old guy) and Graham Moffatt (the young guy) playing his assisting constables. As you would expect they are hopeless but hilarious.
In 'Boys Will Be Boys' Hay plays the bumbling teacher, Dr. Alexander Smart. He leaves his teaching post at a prison to take charge of a school, ironically attended by sons of the prison inmates. Look out for a very young Charles Hawtrey in the classroom. Hay's headteacher was said to have been the inspiration for The St. Trinians films made 2 decades later.

There are no extras but the DVDs have nice menus and good quality video.
