I will launch by saying that Kim Newman’s summary of this classic English comedy is well-behaved, and I completely agree with the comments. While Sellers is the star, this is clearly an ensemble fragment, and the other actors are all terrific. Nobody really steals a film from Sellers, but Lionel Jeffries comes close–his turn as the “evil” prison guard, “Sour” Crout, is an absolute gem. As Kim Newman mentions, David Lodge, Bernard Cribbins and Wilfrid Hyde-White are blooming in relieve as “the gang”.

Others deserve credit too–Maurice Denham as the most benign prison warden in history, preoccupied with his garden and prize–winning ( he hopes ) marrow–Liz Fraser as Dodger’s long-suffering, blond-bombshell girlfriend–Irene Handl as Bernard Cribbins’ larcenous “Mum”, castigating her son for not breaking out of jail and preserving her criminal family’s “honour”–George Woodbridge as the kindest, most naive prison guard in the history of cinema.
The script is marvellous–with even “bit-players” getting hilarious lines. During “visiting day”, one of the inmates asks for an explanation about his wife’s original baby when he has been locked up for three years–her answer is priceless. No–I won’t articulate you–buy the movie!

Anchor Bay as usual gives us a very nice report.
One minor criticism–the portray on the cloak of the DVD has nothing to do with this movie at all–I’m not positive what happened here.
In summary, a classic British comedy from the “golden age”, not to be missed.
Your reviewers Kim and Peter did an advantageous job and I heartily agree with them.
Do you remember how increasingly noisy the Army guarding the valuables were? Culminating in the major in his armored car yelling at midnight outside the pub and having a chamber pot unceremoniously dumped upon him.
We saw (a remarkable older and heavier) Lionel Jefferies (a bishop) at a London theater. After, on the street, program level-headed in hand, we were discussing our evening plans when he came by in street clothes and said he hoped we enjoyed the note. We persueded him to say “Shut up when I’m talkin’ ” (from 2-way Stretch) We will never forget it.
