"His and Hers" isn't anywhere near the top comedy that Terry-Thomas made, but it is good and most fans should enjoy it. The plot is somewhat odd, as a world adventurer and author returns home to England after having been lost in the sands of the Sahara Desert in Africa. Yes, Thomas has that role as Reggie Blake. He and his publisher, Wilfrid Hyde-White's Charles Lunton, created the character and role as a means of steady income. Reggie sets off on an adventure to conquer some unusual feat that no one has yet done, and then to write about it. The two make lots of money on the sales of his books. Of course, there are shenanigans in those very adventures, and those come out around the middle of the film.
Well, after his return from his latest adventure, Reggie brings back with him some strange, unusual and - to say the least, unorthodox to English life and behavior, practices and habits. His adopted Bedouin side carries with it a touch of misogynism. It all leads to some humor with wife Fran, played by Janette Scott. And this is one of the funnier and different films that I have seen Wilfrid Hyde-White in.
This is a light but good comedy that most should enjoy - especially fans of British humor. Here are some sample lines from this film.
Feix McGregor, "Babies taste delicious, no?" Reggie Blake, "I don't know. I've never eaten one."
Reggie. "Who's Brishin?" McGregor, "One of my closest friends. I hate him."
Reggie, "What do you want?" McGregor, "Why should I beat around the bush? It's all over town."
Reggie, "It's funny that every time you stab me in the back, you quote Shelley."
Simone Rolfe, "Remember the night the sheik invited me to join his harem?" Reggie, 'Yes I remember you said you couldn't because you weren't a member of the union."
Reggie, handing Simone a drink he had just made, "Desert Fires, remember?" Simone, "Ah, how could I forget. Wow!" Reggie, "Don't spill any - you'll burn the rug.... Do you remember when we used to sit down on the ground to drink 'em?" Simone, "Oh, yes, of course - to keep from falling."
