Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Norman Wisdom returns as his famous "Pitkin" character, but also for the first time since his appearance in 1958's The Square Peg, Edward Chapman is also back to provide Norman with the excuse to reprise his immortal catch-phrase "Mr Grimsdale". Following on from the previous year's On the Beat, this is actually Wisdom's third adventure as Norman Pitkin, and he certainly has a thing about uniforms. In the previous pictures he was in the army then the police, while here he succeeds in causing chaos in a St. John's Ambulance unit, as well as donning drag to play a blonde nurse complete with suspender belt and silk stockings. Each Norman Wisdom movie usually sees him as the accidental Lord of Misrule in one institution or another, and this time its the NHS: after being banned from his local hospital, Norman resorts to subterfuge to visit a little orphan girl. There's an autobiographical touch here, as Wisdom himself was raised in an orphanage and centred the plot of One Good Turn (1954) around such an establishment. It's all good fun and clearly shows where such later British comedy as Michael Crawford's BBC TV series Some Mothers Do 'Av 'Em (1973-78) found its inspiration. --Gary S. Dalkin

Synopsis
Butcher's assistant Norman is banned from entering a hospital to visit little orphaned Lindy. But he must get in somehow...

5.0 out of 5 stars Norman Wisdom doing what he does best!, 6 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: A Stitch In Time [1963] (DVD)
One of Norman Wisdom's funniest films! A very good quality DVD reproduction. The race with the motorised hospital trolleys is hysterical and well worth buying the DVD for on its own. I am so glad that all my favourite old black and white films are being released on DVD, and can highly recommend this one, even if you are not a big Norman fan!
