Ahh, what jolly good fun!

When I was a lot younger I saw a lot of UK TV on the ABC in Australia - I fell in love with the Goodies, Kenny Everrett, Dave Allen and so on. I remember seeing a distinguished Jon Pertwee offering food for thought on Whodunit, and I am still watching all seven series of Minder daily, starring George Cole.

Suddenly late one night I randomly land on this fun movie and had a hoot watching it. It was great to watch classic UK actors from this era (especially Pertwee and Cole) having a shot at ham drama and comedy. It was wonderful to see these talented actors on the young side of prime, something I had never seen before.

The movie is the tale of stage hypnotism (which I found unusual and charming). The hilarity derives from the fact George has lost all his inhibitions due to being hypnotised. Typical British hijinks, tempered with a stiff upper lip, ensues.

Regardless of what others say, I found this movie to be a delight, the story is fun and bright and the acting animated. I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy it.
