5.0 out of 5 stars top-notch vintage comedy., 9 Nov 2004

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Very much a case of two of the best on one super video. In "Convict 99" Will Hay is in his favourite persona of bungling schoolmaster Benjamin Twist. This time being mistaken for the new governor of Blackdown prison. Once he's in charge there an altogether softer and more fragrant routine is put in place, with inmates being woken gently at 8:30 with tea, coffee or cocoa, and a small fortune being spent on more comfy bedding and better food, and the exercise yard being turned into a sort of hotel patio-cum-betting-shop (the hang 'em and flog 'em brigade may well need smelling salts whilst watching this film!). In "Ask A Policeman" he is in charge of a village cop-shop, where no crime has been committed for the past 10 years, apart that is from a very lucrative smuggling racket which has been going on unhindered right under his nose.

In both films Hay is ably supported by his best sidekicks, Graham Moffatt and Moore Marriott. This unlikely trio had a great rapport, and a terrific deftness for slapstick comedy. It is hard to believe that these films are nearly 70 years old!
