Lucky Jim (1957)
More appreciated by the older generation

The film is not brilliant in my opinion, but after reading some comments on the film I found out that the majority of people loved this British comedy of the 50's. In my opinion, it is a film for an elderly public, and its black and white images may discourage some younger people from seeing it.
"Lucky Jim" is a film adaptation from Kingsley Amis's novel, that portrays the life of a new assistant in a typical British University. The film adaptation replaces all the "clever" comedy described in the book, by a much "dumber" and physical comedy. However that could help to captivate a younger audience.
Nevertheless, in general, I thought the actors did a fantastic performance, really faithful to their book characters.
