5.0 out of 5 stars
At her best,
By
This review is from: Sailor Beware! [1956] (DVD)
This is Peggy Mount's film. Nobody else could ever play this part, and I only hope it is never remade because it won't work.
She plays the role of a very mouthy, brash housewife who dominates not only her husband, but everybody else. Her comedy timing is excellent, and she never managed to do anything better than this. Made in the days before British comedy became smutty, this film should reign amongst the classics. Thora Hird is also very good as her snooty neighbour, and Esma Cannon is superb as a dotty old lady, but the film belongs to Peggy. I lent this to a friend of mine who wasn't that eager to watch it, and he found it absolutely hilarious. If you enjoy comedy like the Ealing pictures, you will enjoy this

Peggy Mount is a Megastar,

This review is from: Sailor Beware! [1956] (DVD)
I love this movie and all comedy movies from this era, Peggy Mount is brilliant, and I could not think of another actress who could play this role. Shirley Eaton is just beautiful and Esma Cannon, well, what a bright star she is, anything she is in is worth watching, another great Aussie actress. Do yourself a favour, WATCH and ENJOY.

Peggy Mount at her very best!,
By
This review is from: Sailor Beware! [1956] (DVD)
Sailor Beware has a galaxy of stars, but the late and great Peggy Mount has her greatest film role ever as the dragonistic future mother-in-law of an unfortunate sailor, played by Ronald Lewis. Some big names here, but none can match Peggy Mount's thundering portrayal of a hen-pecking wife and nagging mother. She steals the show, and as a result, the rest of the cast almost fade into insignificance! Peggy Mount will be best remembered for her work in television during the 1960s and 70s - who starred along side other comedy greats such as Sid James and Pat Coombs. Sailor Beware is a gem not to be missed, and has been a very long time coming out on DVD. Pre-order your copy today - and enjoy!
