Don't give up on this one after the first story or two. Wait for the segment featuring Harry H. Corbett (it's a mini-classic).
As for the rest of the episodes in the film - very hit and miss. Strangely enough, I did not find the Spike Milligan silent 'Sloth' episode funny at all. The sections with Leslie Philips and Ian Carmichael/Alfie Bass were slightly above average.
Not a complete waste of time, with one jewel amongst the rough.
Need to type three more lines of text before this capsule review will get to be submitted as at this present moment IMDb will only accept 10 lines of text minimum. Time for a change. Make it 6 or 7.
