Clive (Nigel Patrick) and Humphrey (David Tomlinson) both are heading to a vacation in the Swiss Alps. They meet on the plane and Humphrey is a bit annoying. Later, they find themselves at the same resort and get on each other's nerves. They also both set their same sights on the same woman. But instead of wooing her, they get chicken pox and a ridiculously annoying woman comes to take care of them. What's next?
I think had "All for Mary" been constructed a bit differently, it would have worked much better. Let me explain. First, nearly all the film takes place either in an airplane or inside a ski resort...and because of this, it seems very stagy...more like a play than a movie. Second, the film often spends too much time on the annoying sequences...particularly the Nanny bit in the attic of the resort. Instead of being funny, I wanted to see Clive do some ultra-violence on Nanny!! This leads to what is the biggest problem with the film....as too many instances of Clive and Humphrey being annoyed and these instances seem to go on and on. Their annoyances during the film slowly begin to annoy viewers as well.
