The Early Bird (1965)
Confused purpose and weak script saved by energetic acting
7 June 2017 - 5 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
Not the worst of Wisdom but generally malicious and cruel and in need of some good jokes. The garish colour also highlights this 'comedian's' advancing age. The opening routine is innocent and funny but you ultimately end up hating Wisdom and feeling sympathy for Jery Desmonde, presumably the producer's had the opposite intention.

I Didn't Do It (1945)
Ian Fleming and Gaston Palmer shine
23 May 2017
Everyone in this film is funnier and more effective than Formby who could be replaced by any other comedian here.
This is basically Ian Fleming's, Gaston Palmer and Marcel Varnel's film who all deserve greater credit for propping Formby up. The theatrical and seedy boarding house backgrounds are also well achieved as are the out of work actors' love for their work.
