Review of Grand Slam

Grand Slam (1978 TV Movie)
9/10
Great film but only if you are Welsh
12 May 2003
This film is set around Wales' attempt to win the Rugby Union Grand Slam against France in Paris in the mid 1970's.Windsor Davies plays Mog the tour leader,Oscar winner Hugh Griffith plays II World War veteran Mr.Lloyd-evans and Sion Probert plays camp boutique owner Maldwyn.Most of the film is filmed in Paris and it uses real footage from the game to give us the atmosphere of a Rugby Union international played between these two great rugby teams.The film is hilarious and moving but the particular facets of Welsh humour may not translate for you so my advice is go and spend a couple of years in Wales and then watch the film.
