I highly recommend this George Formby classic.
A brilliant story of an honest simpleton from Lancashire who wants to ride his bike in the famous TT races on the Isle of Man. He beats some cheating rivals and wins the girl.
Clean comedy for all the family to enjoy and some nice songs too. Probably his best film, though maybe not as popular as "Let George Do It". The transfer to DVD is also of good quality for such an old movie. I experienced none of the reported problems with audio-video synchronization.

Perhaps George's best film, certainly his most entertaining. Most of the laughs are, as you'd expect, from the unintentional. George is, as ever, the meek Lancastrian hero, and there's the obligatory cad and sweet girl characters. One thing that had me in stitches was the 'special effects' of George motoring over a cliff top and flipping himself back to the top - the film jumps into a short animated stickman routine. Maybe I'm being harsh here, because much of the humour is genuine and there are some real characters in it, and the unintentionally funny bits are laughing-at, rather than laughing-with. But whichever way you look at it, it's still a good jape and very entertaining.

Fantastic!
My son just bought a ukelele and so I got this DVD to show him how it should be played. I remember seeing this film on TV years ago, and I'd forgotten how funny it is. Read more

this is great rainy day skit for any one longing to get out on their bikes rather than getting their hands dirty in the workshop.

Still staying the course, even after more than 70 years
One of the best 'British seaside' films of the 1930s, along with the "Sing as We Go!" (1934) which came out the year before. Read more
