From start to finish this is a film to enjoy. Just sit back and watch the life of Arthur Kipps unfold in front of you. Just watching Tommy Steele when he's doing nothing makes me laugh.
The songs are great, I love If The Rain's Gonna Fall, and the others, but I have to replay Flash Bang Wallop several times to just enjoy it. Not only the song and the voices, but the great choreography.
Others reviewers have said about how incongruous to have had H G Wells writing the original story, as well as GBS's Pygmalion turned into My Fair Lady, but there's also Ian Fleming having written Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It's a fun filled romance, with some great songs and although not a huge fan of Tommy Steele, I love his voice, his acting his loud mouth when he shouts - hilarious. You can take a boy out of the gutter...... The class difference is apparent, in all countries, and it's well done here, with the posh family wanting something from Arthur. The scene when he's eating at their house, with the grand dining table is very, very funny.
