Product Information

Very much of it's time, this comedy features plenty of famous faces from British comedy and a style of humour that is based more on attitude than fantastic jokes. Our online collections hold information on over 800,000 film titles – including television programmes, documentaries, newsreels, as well as educational and training films. Ladies in Lavendar (2003) Cadgwith, Prussia Cove, Bessy's Cove, Helston and Penzance, part of the Porth-en-Alls estate. Worth noting are brief supporting appearances by a young Corin Redgrave in his film debut, Arnold Ridley treading water before becoming a household name in 'Dad's Army', and former Devil Girl from Mars Patricia Laffan making her final film appearance as Gregoire Aslan's foxy blonde mistress. Littlewood had urged her to drop out of the Carry Ons, and Windsor took 2 wilderness decades to emerge from their shadow.

Babs Windsor is very much playing the dizzy blonde, but she's a very cheesecake pin-up style beauty. Little Walter and his motley crew of robbers decide to get out of London after pulling off a tiny little train robbery.

It works to a certain extent – but really you need to be content to make do with this style of humour and not much else.Finally, she gets to lip-sync to Dusty Springfield while conducting a telephone conversation as Neil Tennant’s hair-netted mother via ‘What Have I Done to Deserve This? Things become more complicated as they have to interact with the mainlanders, some not by choice, and Walt falling in love with one of them, June, the granddaughter of a fisherman named Phineas with a larcenous past of his own of which June is unaware.

Rather than go anywhere the film just gets as much mileage out of the set up as possible before quickly drawing things to a close with an unsatisfying and hasty conclusion. But Windsor finally got to show what she could do in EastEnders, where she demonstrated that she had been showbiz royalty all along. It’s always annoying when I finally see something from my watchlist then can’t remember why I put it there. After Children’s Film Foundation duty in Cup Fever (1965) and A Ghost of a Chance (1967), Cribbins honed his slapstick skills in all-star shorts like A Home of Your Own (1965), The Undertakers (1969) and The Plank (1979).

The Intern (2015) Seventy-year-old widower Ben Whittaker, a retired executive from DEX One, applies to a senior citizen intern program, after retirement has become too boring for him. The character-focused shenanigans are almost entirely of the "fish out of water" variety as these friendly rogues must get used to farmyard animals, cooking, cleaning, and working in the vegetable patch. The six of them set up business in a disused monastery off the Cornish coast, despite the fact that none of them really qualifies as a monk - least of all Walter's moll Biki.Something to watch whilst having a severe cold and being stuck in the house on a freezing November afternoon. There is no beating around the bush here, anyone outside of Britain are advised to stay well clear of this very British caper.
