Sir Norman Wisdom. *************
~Introduction~ *********** Norman Wisdom was born in 1915. He had a difficult upbringing and spent some time in a childrens home. He served in the Merchant navy and took part in WW2 before becoming an actor in 1946 at the age of 31. He has never looked back.
He has made 19 movies in total and appeared, at the last count, 16 times on TV. His career has spanned from his early beginnings in 1948 in the movie 'A Date with a Dream' and his First TV 'Wit and Wisdom' also in 1948. And Up until 2004 starring on TV in 'Five Children and It'.

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.
~DVD Features~ ************* Language: English Sub Titles: None Region: Region: 2 Number of discs: 1 Classification: U Run Time: 82 minutes ASIN: B00004CK7N Amazon Price: £4.70

Review of Dark Star (DVD)
Advantages: A great atmospheric film with a believeable gothic feel and believable acting Disadvantages: Can be gory and gruesome in places so not for the squeamish!
