Hay's penultimate film, 16 October 2005
Author: malcolmgsw from london
This,Will Hay's penultimate film contains one of his most famous routines on film.A variation on his famous schoolmaster routine.In this he is a teacher in a school for spies teaching such notables as Peter Ustinov and Charles Hawtry how to cope with the intricacies of enunciation in the English language.There is a further scene near the end of the film which was full of puns based on Enlish place names.I was at a lecture given by Peter Ustinov many years ago at the NFT.when asked about Will Hay he said that he remembered him as having cups of tea on his own in a corner of the set.It is interesting that in films made by English comedians during the war,such as Hay ,George Formby and The Crazy Gang,the Nazis are always portrayed as buffoo0ns rather than evil.
Reference to Casablanca, 30 June 2008
Author: bernie-81 from North Yorkshire
A great British comedy ...
One of my favourites ...
The great Will Hay ...
Fantastic anti-Nazi propaganda achieved by outrageous satire!!
"Im England you must remember to forget your gas mask!!"
Has anyone spotted what I take to be a the reference to 'Casablanca' in the opening scene/sequence...the airport/plane/fog etc???
Even the plane seems a similar type having twin fins on the tailplane.
I think Casablanca was made a couple of years earlier so if I'm right someone had a very keen eye and respect for that great movie!!
Lovers of art-deco interiors will love the laboratory scenes!
