Average Rating:	The Lady Vanishes [1979] starring: Elliott Gould, Cybill Shepherd, Angela Lansbury, Herbert Lom, Arthur Lowe directed by: Anthony Page		Used Price: Â£1.50
Of course I prefer the original version of this story but this movie is made highly enjoyable and entertaining due to the presence of so many famous faces from British and American television. Witness the two cricket fans - who can watch this scene and not think about the two actors in their familiar DAD'S ARMY roles? Cybill Shepherd would later go on to much success in the show MOONLIGHTING and of course Angela Lansbury eventually found worldwide fame for her turn as the female sleuth in MURDER SHE WROTE. Here Lansbury plays a nanny turned spy who is attempting to get back to Britain with some vital information. Set in pre-WWII Germany this movie chronicles the trip of Cybill Shepherds character back to the UK to be reunited with ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Wind In The Willows [1983] starring: Ian Carmichael, Michael Hordern, David Jason, Richard Pearson, Peter Sallis directed by: Chris Taylor, Mark Hall May 01, 2000		Used Price: Â£1.83
For some reason this doesn't seem to get repeated on tv so I thought I would buy it - this is a gentle, charming tale which is perfect for watching on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I accidentally looked up this film's details on Amazon's American site - was rather amused to see a customer review ranting about its "bad language"! This transpired to be Badger calling Toad an "ass" which the sheltered reviewer took to be a "profanity" rather than as reference to a donkey. Unless you also perceive this as swearing then this is perfect family viewing! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Lord Peter Wimsey - Clouds Of Witness starring: Ian Carmichael, Glyn Houston, Mark Eden, Rachel Herbert, David Langton April 03, 2000		Used Price: Â£6.89
Viewers beware. On the Amazon web site the cast list is entirely wrong. This is not a Petherbridge Wimsey but a Carmichael Wimsey. It remains a wonderful DVD. It is faithful to the book and grips one just as tightly. However I find Carmichael plays Wimsey with less depth than Petheridge. Wimsey is a somewhat tortured soul and this is not a Carmichael expertise. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Lord Peter Wimsey - Five Red Herrings [1975] starring: Ian Carmichael, Glyn Houston, David Rintoul, David McKail, Roy Boutcher October 08, 2001		Used Price: Â£6.49
Dorothy L. Sayers writes many non-fiction books however among her best is the Lord Peter Wimsey series. I came to this series sort of though the back door. My first taste was the BBC productions with Petherbridge as Lord Peter that can now be found on DVD. So I read all of Dorothy's books containing the relationship of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. Now it is time to go through the whole series. Now I watched the one I missed on PBS. The first thing I notices was that Ian Carmichael talks much faster than Petherbridge. And all the people seem older. Of course Peter was supposed to be older when he met Harriet. Campbell a local artist is being obnoxious and makes everybody's life miserable. Let's face it Campbell needs killing. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	I'm Alright Jack [1959] starring: Ian Carmichael, Terry-Thomas, Peter Sellers, Richard Attenborough, Dennis Price directed by: John Boulting July 06, 1998		Used Price: Â£2.84
Many people think of Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films. Forget them, the earlier the film, the better his acting. >>More Details

Average Rating:	School For Scoundrels [1960] starring: Ian Carmichael, Terry-Thomas, Alastair Sim, Janette Scott, Dennis Price directed by: Cyril Frankel, Hal E. Chester, Robert Hamer July 06, 1998		Used Price: Â£1.98
"Oh, hard cheese, old chap!" School for Scoundrels, that cheery, malicious comedy of one-upmanship, was based on Stephen Potter's classic of underhanded winning, Gamesmanship - Or How To Win Without Really Cheating, and its follow-up, Lifemanship. (Potter wrote several others, too.) What is lifemanship? "Well, gentlemen," says the avuncular head of school played by Alastair Sim to a new class, "lifemanship is the science of being one up on your opponents at all times. It's the art of making him feel that somewhere, some how, he's become less that you. He who is not one up, is one down." Getting ready to sign up for the courses is Henry Palfrey (Ian Carmichael), so nice, so pleasant, so helpful that he usually finds himself either ignored, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Private's Progress [1956] starring: Richard Attenborough, Ronald Adam, Dennis Price, Henry B. Longhurst, Terry-Thomas directed by: John Boulting July 06, 1998		Used Price: Â£2.00
Stanley Windrush (Ian Carmichael) is called up during WW2 and sent for training under the permanently exasperated Sergeant played by William Hartnell. Failing officer training he is sent to a holding camp presided over by Terry-Thomas, with his perpetual cry of "You're a shower, an absolute shower". Here he encounters the crafty Private Cox (Richard Attenborough) who explains to him how it is possible to avoid active service more or less indefinitely, only, as he explains "the trouble is you're educated, and that sort of limits, you, doesn't it?". Cox and his mates are up to all sorts of nefarious activities, and Windrush finds himself in all kinds of trouble. Meanwhile his dodgy Uncle Bertie (Dennis Price) is up to some shady dealings in art. Finally Windrush's luck runs ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Heaven's Above [1963] starring: Peter Sellers, Cecil Parker, Isabel Jeans, Ian Carmichael, Bernard Miles directed by: John Boulting, Roy Boulting July 06, 1998		Used Price: Â£0.77
peter sellers displays his acting skills to full effect in this biting satire of religion over the modern consumer driven world, sellers plays the role of reverend smallwood with subtle calm dignity in the face of constant assault both from the corporate world and even from the very religious heirarchy he is trying to serve, with an early clusoe type naivety smallwood bumbles his way innocently through,oblivious to all , untill eventually the film drifts dreamily to its inevitable conclusion. One of those rare films that reaches almost perfection. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Left, Right And Centre [1959] starring: Ian Carmichael, Alastair Sim, Patricia Bredin, Richard Wattis, Eric Barker directed by: Sidney Gilliat June 17, 2002		Used Price: Â£9.80
I bought this because of its female star, Patricia Bredin - being the UK's first Eurovision Song Contest entrant back in 1957, there is little footage of her available besides from the contest itself, and "Right, Left and Centre" is a rare chance to see her at work as an actress rather than a singer, albeit 2 years after her Eurovision appearance. Patricia is charming as the determined Stella Stoker, and the script, although very corny, is a delight, and will raise smiles if only for the naive 1950s nature of the puns. Although it's very much relegated to the realms of pleasant Sunday afternoon viewing, its charm lies in this - a forgotten piece of British film history with a lesser-known, but still delightful actress. Fun viewing. >>More Details
