OH, MR. PORTER! is the best known of the many Will Hay comedies made during the 1930s and 1940s. That's because it's undoubtedly one of the funniest, if not THE funniest out there. The script is superior, the jokes come thick and fast, and the absurdist situations are genuinely funny. Hay plays his usual character, drafted in to a remote Irish train station to run things, only to become embroiled in various daft plots. It's the go-to movie if you're a first time Hay watcher.
