In 1974, with his top-rating TV series still riding high on the airwaves, Benny Hill brought all his favourite sketches together in one big feature-film extravaganza. From the avant garde French movie director being interviewed for television, the elderly inhabitant of an old folks’ home playing strip poker with his nurse to a chat-show host dealing with a monosyllabic starlet, all his funniest moments are here to enjoy.
• BROAD RANGE: Bennys brilliant observation and meticulous attention to
detail brought
to life sketches which ranged from pure slapstick to social comment, with some
music
thrown in along the way, but always ending in the traditional and classic chase
to the
sounds of Yackety Sax.
