Product Description

A wonderfully simple story of Mr Ningle (Richard Hearne) who lost his job in the City many years ago, but didnt want to tell his wife. So he goes off to town each day in his pinstripe and bowler then changes his clothes and works as a pavement artist. Unfortunately Bill Shine (a reporter) is sent to tail him, ,but when Ningle suddenly dissappears Shine calls the police. They find Ningle's clothes and assume he's been killed. A suspicious character seen near the scene is of course Ningle himself and the police set out to track Ningle in connection with his own death!

A mixed bag 5 Mar 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
The script is pleasing enough and I rather enjoyed the idea of an out-of-work businessman reinventing himself as a pavement artist! The physical comedy is a little too contrived for my taste. Do you recall the parodies of chase scenes, a string of people running around a house, following each other through the same doorways fifteen times but never finding their quarry? Several of those scenes in this film! Further examples spring to mind - the somersaults over walls, riding a bicycle with knees high up in the air like a clown at the circus...

Probably a good buy if you are a particular fan of British comedy from this era, but I'm not sure I'll watch it again.

The sound and picture quality are both excellent.
