Every Home Should Have One
28 Dec 2006
This film is better known by its British title - "Every Home Should Have One".
Teddy, an up-and-coming advertising executive, is engaged to write an advertising campaign for porridge, using sex as the keynote. At the same time, his wife Judy is joining a crusade to kick sex out of television.
None of this sounds very exciting, so why the five stars? Well, the answer is simple. Marty Feldman.
Not only is Marty an accomplished comic actor of the highest order (and it's certainly his acting that captures the entire show), he's a superb comedy writer in his own right (or write!) whose emphasis has always been towards the zany side of life. Older viewers will remember "The Army Game" and "Bootsie and Snudge", but how about the work he did for Tony Hancock, Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams ("we'll soon brighten up your patio, shove a creeper or two up your trellis"), Harry Secombe - not to mention the work he did on Monty Python's "Live at the Hollywood Bowl"?
When he is given free reign and let loose to write the script on a project like this, ably aided and abetted by Dennis Norden and Barry Took, then you can be assured that the only possible result will be a riot. And when the riot eventually does break out, you can be assured that you won't have seen anything like it before, and probably not after (the Hollywood scenes in "Blazing Saddles" notwithstanding).
The direction and production are excellent throughout. Scenes such as Penelope Keith as the German au-pair dressed in leather and riding her motorbike to the Browns' house accompanied by "The Ride of the Valkyres" are classics.
Marty Feldman gives a real 5-star performance in this film, and his team of backing actors play their parts to perfection. You won't be wasting your money with this film

Think Dirty with Marty Feldman: not bad
30 Nov 2002
Not a bad movie if you're interested in Marty Feldman's take on mid-70's British advertising culture, complete with an ugly American ad exec and lots of hedonism.
Every Home Would Enjoy It
11 Jan 2012
Every Home Should Have One (released in 1970) is a pretty good example of a British late 1960's/early 1970's sex comedy, with plenty of innuendo, double entendres and slapstick and a little bit of social comment thrown in. For British audiences there are several well-known faces from sitcom land to add to the fun!
