Almost Unwatchable
2 July 2022
A brash and loud comedy that I struggled to watch in the early hours of the morning. I had insomnia and both a screaming baby and a dog as big as a hound in the film made sure that I would survive on a few hours sleep. An aging couple ( by 1952 standards ) downsize and move into a small house. They do this because they never see their four adult children. Within almost minutes the whole brood descend on the house and then slapstick, vague sex references and poor dialogue take over. For some reason I like British films of this period but this one almost made me change my mind. I may be wrong but I feel it must have been a poor programme filler. I have nothing against this as it kept actors in work, and the UK made many of them, and some were good films and worth remembering. It may still appeal to some, but in all honesty definitely not for me.
