This is a quaint, delightful little Norman Wisdom film. It showcases - as usual - his mime and comedy routines, brilliant little facial nuances and so forth, but is combined with a charming visit to the English seaside (actually, Teignmouth in South/East Devon, not the 'Tinmouth' of the film).
Also, for any train enthusiasts out there, some interesting pictures of the old British Rail, stations, rolling stock, etc. (all about 1966 vintage).
For some reason, there are many little changes in spelling in this film when referring to real people, towns, etc. For instance, why does Teignmouth become 'Tinmouth'? (would the townsfolk find it offensive to be in such a film?). Why is the new edge-of-town housing estate called 'Kier Hardy' estate, when it should be 'Keir Hardie' (the famous, founding member of the Labour Party)?
