“I saw this at the flicks when it was first shown in the UK. I think I was about 16 – I recall thinking that it was totally hilarious, but seeing it recently on TV just made me squirm with embarrassment. I suppose seeing people u0026quot;chunderu0026quot; and hearing adults swear a bit must have seemed a bit special. Spike Milligan was funny as the landlord and Dennis Price was a good sport to send his u0026quot;classu0026quot; up. Dumb, devoid of any real intelligence and juvenile. That goes for me and the film 😉 I will now waffle a bit to fill up the required 10 lines of review. What happened to the Aussie film scene ? You guys threatened to take over the world at one point.”
