Dumbo

Image
                                                                                  Dumbo, the story of a cute, flying, baby elephant... it could only be Disney Dumbo, the Disney film about a baby flying elephant has brought joy and laughter to millions of children and adults since it was first released in 1941, a good old fashioned underdog story about a sympathetic character who is first picked upon, ridiculed and shunned, is then separated from his mother whose only fault was to protect her child and is then forced to make a public spectacle of himself for the pleasure and greed of others, is it any wonder this cute little guy has won our hearts? We were routing for him right from the start. Dumbo was one of Disney's earliest successful movies, and only their fourth film release,...

The Ghost Train

Image
    The film Ghost Train isn't about a scary funfair ride nor is it really a horror film despite being labelled as one, what it is, is a 1941 comedy starring Arthur Askey an English actor who first made his name on radio and in Music Hall performances and whether you enjoy the film or not will largely depend on whether you enjoy his brand of slapstick comedy. Arthur Askey Doesn't Look Too Spooked By The Ghost Train Slapstick comedy is something I personally enjoy, but what is it? It's a particular form of humour that involves over the top physical reactions, exaggerated mannerisms, think Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chaplin, two of the more well known names of the genre, over here in good old England we had actors such as George Formby, Norman Wisdom, Will Hay and yes Arthur Askey. All these names except for Norman Wisdom found fame before the 1950's and the style today is a little harder to pinpoint but if you are watching a comedy and the actor or indeed actress is ma...

Holiday On The Buses

Image
 Sun, sea, sex and sand who could want more from a vacation? But how about lost, wet luggage, mystery tour mayhem, nosey neighbours, exploding toilets and perhaps the luckiest middle aged men ever, you get all this and more when you take a holiday on the buses.  The 1970's for the British film industry wasn't a great decade, horror films, sex comedies and TV spin offs made up most of the nation's cinematic output, amongst all of these films were a few diamonds in the rough but by and large most have now been forgotten, much to the delight of the actors still alive today, Joanna Lumley may be absolutely fabulous now but back then was stripping down for the camera. The 1960's had seen sweeping changes in values and social trends and by the end of that decade it seemed we were living in a far more promiscuous society (no safe sex campaigns back then), into this new era came attitudes that today we may cringe at, feminism to many was a joke, sexual preference was still some...
