Time Gentlemen Please is another of Group 3's brief candles, a superb film seen by few. Eddie Byrne turns a great turn as Dan Dance and although he occasionally adds a little too much sugar to the recipe, it could have been far, far worse. Sid James is the reason that most people will cross paths with TGP and his performance as almost a bad guy is almost brilliant. Group 3 always managed to hide at least one surprise in each film and Edie Martin's revolutionary shopkeeper Mary Wade will have you chuckling to yourself for days. In 1952, Britain was in the process of rebuilding itself and the effects of the war years were still being keenly felt, which makes the movie even more remarkable: in an age where productivity was all, a mainstream film that championed lounging around in the countryside over an honest day's work was beautifully out of step with the times. Are there enough haystacks for us all?
