Norman Wisdom Trouble in Store and Up in the World.
************************************************************

Tro uble in Store (1953)
**************************
Not one of his best movies but still a good laugh.

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.
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.

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.

Runtime: 85 min


Up in the world (1955)
**************************
One of his funniest films.

He is a window cleaner who is called in to clean a huge manor house with hundreds of windows. Whilst there he falls foul of the estate manager who hates Norman with a passion but the young boy who is the heir to the estate takes a shining to Norman and persuades him to go into town and visit a club.
In the club some local villains try to kidnap the young heir. Norman fights with them and the heir bangs his head and can't remember anything.
Norman ends up in prison, escapes and try's to get the heir to remember Norman attempt to try and save him from the bad guys.

This film is one of his better films.
The pratfalls are superb and the comedic timing is exquisite.
Thankfully he only sings once during the whole film.

Runtime: 87 min

The single disc is worth buying as both movies are excellent.

Enjoy.
