isla s 09/03/2022 I found this a bit bland and not as amusing as I'd hoped. I was interested to see the original film, after having seen the remake with Queen Latifah some 10+ years ago - suffice to say, its certainly rather different but then I suppose thats a given!. I don't think I've seen many (any?) films with Alex Guinness in before, so that was interesting. I also recognised Sid James who plays Joe Clarence. It wasn't an uninteresting film but the plot pace was a little slow for my taste. There were some amusing moments, whereby characters get the wrong end of the stick and make incorrect conclusions based on the somewhat bizarre traveling habits and behaviour of the main character. I found one of the hotel employees, a very quietly spoken lady, to be quite nice and soemwhat memorable. I thought it was interesting to see how the main character attempted to open up, to deal with the situation he found himself in. As an old fashioned character drama its not bad and there is a certain charm to it, although it isn't one of the particularly memorable older British films I've seen.

See more 03/04/2016 Has an interesting mix of drama with a set of mildly amusing characters, although this is not a comedy. It's a pretty good character study. See more 03/01/2016 charming British comedy where a salesman is told he is to die soon spends his savings on an expensive holiday and starts to live his life to the max See more 04/23/2013 Great story, excellent cast, the film sticks with you--Guinness Pure Genius!! See more 08/26/2012 Extremely overrated. Starts off well, but quickly becomes stodgy. I'd pass on this one. See more Read all reviews
