Will Hay - Hey! Hey! USA.
******************************

Introduction:
**************
A lone outing for Will this time with no Moore Marriott and graham Moffatt.
This is Will Hays second movie as the hopeless Dr Benjamin Twist. He would also use the character in Good Morning Boys and Convict 99.
Not to be confused with another character he played called Dr Smart Alec.

Synopsis:
***********
Will is a ships porter who ends up being drugged by a runaway crook, who then swaps identities with him.
By the time he awakens he is far at sea.
Will joins up with another stowaway
And finally jumps ship in the USA.
He gets a job as a tutor, whilst his stowaway companion becomes a kidnapper and ends up kidnapping the very child Will is tutoring.
It ends with a farcical quickness that is disappointing.

Opinions:
***********
A poor will Hay film this one as it lacks the subtle humour and wonderful gentle slapstick of his usual comedies.
When Will was along side his 2 cohorts Moore Marriott and graham Moffatt
The films just had more spark and dynamism.

I am a Will Hay fan but this is his poorest movie. There are too few jokes.

A disappointingly poor film.
