This is one of my personal favourites from George Formby. George's aunt leaves a large sum of money to George in her will, but knowing how greedy the rest of the family are, she wants to ensure her fortune goes to her intended recipient, so she sows the money into the lining of one of six chairs. All George has to do is obtain the chair and his rightful inheritence will be his. But it doesn't quite go according to plan, and it's a real farce as he (and a few sly competitors) chase after the chair. The task is made difficault because the chair is one of a set of six identical ones.
Brilliant performances from Gus McNaughton and Alistair Sim. A good laugh.

Formby is always good fun, and with Alistair Sim as possibly the only other recognisable face in this, it's a good laugh.
The print used for this DVD from Optimum is first class, very crisp and clear with little or no blemishes. Top notch.

Another great Formby film and one that made me smile and chuckle on a wet afternoon. If you need this for a collection then go ahead and buy it, you will not be disappointed. Some good names alongside George Formby and it will while away an hour or so reminiscing in a time gone by.

Lets go daft
In this film - as in every Formby film - goofish gormless George always gets the girl. Why?

Good British Comedy
Typical George Formby outing but helped by a strong supporting cast with Alastair Sim shining though between some drab scenes.

A waste of talent
If this had been the first George Formby film I had seen it would be the last also.
