Synopsis

After dressing as cops, a cockney band of bandits find themselves being pursued by both other crooks and the law. A delightful spoof on gangster films.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb film, 23 Aug 2000
By mh (London,England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wrong Arm Of The Law [1962] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Peter Sellers is at his best in this film which has loads of sixties style and innocent comedy. Lionel Jeffries is fantastic as the bumbling policeman desperately trying to impress his superiors whilst failing totally,or did he.....

4.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential British comedy, 3 Jul 2003
By R. A. Caton "Arcaton" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is an example of a style of comedy that was very very British and also very much of its period. We see villains presented as comic rogues and policemen as bumbling duffers led by the public school class that got their promotions on the basis of the old school tie. And this at a time which saw the rise of the Krays and their contemporaries in the real London gangland!
But we don't watch these movies for social commentary; we watch them for the superb comedic talents of the cast; the cast list reads like a who's who of British comedy, Sellers, Cribbins, Stark, Jefferies, Le Mesurier....plus the unusual sight of Bill Kerr as an Aussie crook with a brilliant plan to hoodwink both the Plod and the Underworld at the same time. This movie isn't the only slapstick villain piece from that period (mid 50's to mid 60's, from "The Naked Truth" to "Go to Blazes") but it is an extremely good one.
Buy this movie. It is a passport back to a comforting world very different from our own, when Police cars still had bells and dark blue paintwork, coppers could be spotted a mile off by the Big Boots and "'Ello 'Ello" demeanour, and villains were lovable types who wouldn't harm a fly when stealing a payroll or bullion or jewels or whatever; no-one gets hurt but there's a wonderfully comic punch up at the end.
And it's one of the last chances to see Sellers before he lost his East End accent and became lost as Clouseau.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, 15 April 2005
By J. J. Bowen (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great example of this type of film, with a lineage through (the original) Italian Job. Good, genuine, entertainment which shows up a lot of the dross we're inlicted with at the cinema these days.
