ON THE BEAT. =============
~Introduction~ ***************** The irrepressible Norman is back in arguably his funniest film.
~Synopsis~ *********** Norman is sick of being a parking attendant and dreams of following in his fathers footprints and become a police man. Unfortunately he fails the height test, not that that would be a problem today. Dejected he starts going through his dad's old chest and guess what he finds? His fathers old police uniform, oh no. He puts it on and goes for a stroll down the street, which as you can probably guess leads to huge mayhem, farcical whimsy and general madness.
Eventually after being caught impersonating a policeman some bright spark notices that he bears a striking resemblance to a nasty criminal that the police have been after for quite a while, Giulio Napolitani. Now Norman must pose as this master criminal and gain information to break the gang and put them all behind bars.
Opinions: ******** I enjoy Norman Wisdom films and thoroughly enjoyed this daft romp. The slapstick is on par with his other films but the gags are a bit thin on the ground. He was underestimated as a multi faceted actor and here he plays two characters very well. The chase scene where hundreds of coppers are chasing him is superb.
No Mr Grimsdale on this outing.
