Bring back the 1970s. The best music, best movies and the most politically incorrect comedians. DVD review.

Seven short films on the seven sins done Carry On style.

Extremely dated movie with mostly middle-aged men ogling teenaged women (wearing hot pants). Practically every mediocre early '70s British comedian appears in this movie. Good reference Who's Who guide. Of course some segments are better than others. My favourite was the Corbett story in the tube station. Very funny ending in the phone box. But overall the movie is very amateurish. It looks like it was done on 16mm with a minimum of direction. But there's many inspired scenes. What other movie features someone fishing in a sewer? The nastiest scene was with Secombe attempting to by a house by any means necessary. Here's one thought: could this movie be remade today in Britain? Is there enough comic talent to fill a movie this ambitious? No way is the answer. The final sequence has one of the all-time great screen actors: Stephen Lewis (doing his On The Buses character and imitating Paul Newman from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid).

If you've got a spare 7 euro then buy this DVD. Most of it is poor but there's some laugh-out-loud moments.
