Opinions:

Will Hay made many films during his career, this was among one of his funniest.
The jokes come thick and fast. The plot of the movie is standard and predictable but funny none the less.
The humour is inoffensive and of its time.
A great old fashioned comedy.

Introduction: ********* This is the first movie appearance of Will Hay playing his schoolmaster role as Dr Alec Smart. He will go on to play Dr Alec Smart or Smart Alec as the boys call him.
Synopsis: ******* The film starts with Will Hay as a teacher (not a very good one) in a rough prison. He applies for the headmastership at 'Narkover' school. Unfortunately for him he allows a con at the prison to forge him a letter of reference. Later the same con blackmails Dr Smart into giving him a job as caretaker. Later still, the con decides to steal the school governess's diamond necklace during an Old Boys reunion day. It turns out 'The Old Boys' are all criminals and want in on the theft. Dr Smart attempts to thwart the theft and things go slideways from this point onwards. However to be honest, things where barmy before this point anyhow. The film ends with the jewels inside a rugby ball and everyone trying literally to 'steal' the ball.
Opinions: ****** Will Hay made many films during his career, this was among one of his funniest. The jokes come thick and fast. The plot of the movie is standard and predictable but funny none the less. The humour is inoffensive and of its time. A great old fashioned comedy.

involving spooky goings tied in with sneaky crooks.
Just as the villains in oh, Mr. Porter! Exploited the local legend of 1 eyed Joe (I have previously reviewed this) to keep people away, so the smugglers here play on the myth of a headless horseman to frighten people away.
This is a superb old comedy with subtle humour and wonderful gentle slapstick.
When will was along side his 2 cohorts Moore Marriott and graham Moffatt
The films just had more spark and dynamism.
A film you will enjoy.
