Sir Norman Wisdom.

He has never looked back.

Norman was Knighted in 2000 by the Queen. But of late has suffered with his heart and currently has a pacemaker fitted.

Let's hope he gets his telegram from the Queen.

Good luck Norm.

TROUBLE IN STORE.
=============
Norman is working behind the scenes in the stock room of a large dept store. He has ambitions to be a window dresser. However whilst trying to 'move up in the world', he falls in love with one of the shop girls.
One evening they uncover a plot to rob the store and, ridiculously, manage to foil the robbers.

~Opinions~
***********
Norman gives us a song along the way and I really do wish he wouldn't sing.

There are some jokes pushed at the class system in 'those days' but they don't ring true today.

Not one of his best movies but still a good laugh.
This movie is not as funny as some of his others. But it is still highly watchable and has all his trade mark twitches and shouting.

You've got to admire his longevity but some of those early films haven't aged very well. David
