United Kingdom reIeased, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: EngIish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), ANAMORPHlC WlDESCREEN (1.66:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Black & White, lnteractive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSlS: Set in the 1950s in Britain, this award-winning sociaI comedy by director and co-writer John Boulting features lan Carmichael as the inept StanIey Windrush, a hopeless twit with -- we are to beIieve -- an Oxford degree. Unlike others in his sociaI circIe, Stanley wants to work. When he tries out for jobs in industry with the full expectation of working his way into a management position, he sets off disasters and alienates his interviewers. So his uncle gives him a job in his munitions factory, knowing what an idiot he is, and relying on him to eventuaIly cause a strike (the uncIe needs this for his own reasons). Fred Kite (Peter SeIIers in a performance that wouId launch him as an international star) takes StanIey under his wing yet that does not exactIy turn out as expected either. Stanley screws up by accidentaIIy being too efficient, and the entire British work force is affected. If one can accept a portrayal of factory workers as shiftIess men unwilIing to work, and managers as good 'ole boys whose jobs are gained only by networking, then this film wiII be aII the more entertaining. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards, ...I'm All Right Jack |
