the man in the mirror (1936)

"The trouble is that you are traveling in low gear...if only you would let yourself go."
Meek and mild Jeremy Dilke (Edward Everett Horton), is surprised when his reflection comes to life, and this alter ego sets about doing everything he wanted to but considered too wild and crazy.
Finely crafted technically, this is let down by an over talky script.

is your honeymoon really necessary (1953)

"Wouldn't Candy love this?"
American flyboy Laurie Vining (Bonar Colleano) arrives back in England with a new wife in tow, and soon ends up getting the runaround trying to avoid his first wife Candy (Diana Dors), who maintains she is still married to him.
Old fashioned bedroom farce. It's no classic, but is enlivened by a sterling performance of Diana Dors.

the great game (1953)

"Rutter would keep you out of the second division. How much is that worth to you?"
Joe Lawson (James Hayter) is the chairman of Burnville United. A rich but failing team, that seems destined for relegation. Then he learns that a star player from a rival team is moving to Burnville, and suggests to him that he ask for a transfer so Burnville can buy him. This then drops Lawson into hot water for making an illegal approach to a player.
A competent comedy drama, livened up by the prescence of Diana Dors.

fun at st fanny's (1955)

"It's me your favourite delinquint."
Cardew Robinson is the oldest school pupil in the world, running rings around the Headmaster (Fred Emney). A spanner is put in the works when it comes to light that the school earns money for every year that Cardew is at the school and unfortunately it's starting to look like Cardew may pass the exams this year! Further complications come in the form of some hoods, (including Freddie Mills), looking to recoop the headmaster's gambling debts.
Be prepared for a string of bad puns in this sub-par public school farce. Though it is enlivened by some well placed in-jokes at television amongst others, (though like all in-jokes, you have to know what they are poking fun at to enjoy them).

the gay dog(1954)

"That dog has only one chance of catching that hare...if they put it in the trap with it!"
Jim Gay (Wilfred Pickles) loves his racing greyhound but, out of town, he finds a dog with a better chance to win. His friends bet on his dog while he bets against.
A mildly diverting comedy that features Petula Clark as Jim Gay's daughter.
