MAKE MINE A MILLION is a solid, unpretentious British comedy from 1959 that offers a neat duo in the form of old-timer Arthur Askey (ageing fast, but still quick-witted and keeping up with the younger cast members) and Sid James, then on the cusp of his CARRY ON superstardom. The plot is lightweight, about a couple of advertising men who come up with the usual scheme for success and fortune, but the jokes work well and the warm-hearted and lively characters are a delight. I was also pleased to see Dermot Walsh showing up in a rare comedy role, while the climax with the bandits is a real hoot.
