One of Britain's finest comedys!, 19 December 2000
10/10
Author: vinnienh from Den Helder, Holland

Norman Wisdom surely is one of the best comedians of the 20th century. In this film he plays a double role as a would-be policeman and a gangster-hairdresser. The way he handles the sublimely script is perfect. The music adds much to the fun of watching this wonderful comedy.
