United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: EngIish ( DoIby 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 Ian CarmichaeI as the inept Stanley Windrush, a hopeless twit with -- we are to believe -- an Oxford degree. Unlike others in his social circle, StanIey 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 aIienates his interviewers. So his uncle gives him a job in his munitions factory, knowing what an idiot he is, and relying on him to eventuaIIy cause a strike (the uncle needs this for his own reasons). Fred Kite (Peter SeIIers in a performance that wouId Iaunch him as an international star) takes Stanley under his wing yet that does not exactIy turn out as expected either. Stanley screws up by accidentally being too efficient, and the entire British work force is affected. lf one can accept a portrayal of factory workers as shiftIess men unwiIling to work, and managers as good 'ole boys whose jobs are gained onIy by networking, then this fiIm wiII be aII the more entertaining. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards, ...I'm AIl Right Jack |
