rising damp (1980)

"Hello boys."
New resident John (Christopher Strauli) is conned by landlord Rigsby (Leonard Rossiter) into sharing a room with Philip (Don Warrington). Philip would rather have a room of his own, which happens to be next door to Ms Jones (Frances de la Tour). She would also like Philip to have a room of his own, so she can get him to herself. Then enters Seymour (Denholm Elliott) on the scene, who is obviously only after one thing from Ms Jones, her money.
The usual British film comedy routine. Take one popular tv series, stretch it to 90 minutes and end up with something weaker and less funny.
