with it completely surreal narrative and win photography and the bed sit room hit me now for a number of reason and the first of which and be that despite look strangely contemporary and all it main lead ( except the young un ) be dead . marty feldman and micheal horden and arthur lowe and peter cook and dudley moore and harry secombe and spike milligan and sir ralph and be all push up the daisy . there something tragic about the cast in a comedy all be dead . for all intense and purpose and the film may as well be dead too a it be blind luck that i catch it . it be criminal that this bona fide classic never really make it past the main gate and while less film take the glory . make by richard lester ( a hard day night and superman 2 and 3 ) in 1969 and just before monty python hit pay dirt and it tell the story of brit after the bomb and work class through to upper and it encapsulate the british eccentricity perfectly . it pomposity and it sheer blood bloody optimism . these character and you might see on the tube on the way to work and despite furniture mutation and hunger and theyre just the same . it a testament to all concern and that a potentially silly premise and be perform with total conviction and a little tragedy . it especially weird to see sir ralph richardson and sir micheal horden a lead . in such a bizarre film and it swing the whole experience into brain frying proportion . it would be like have sir ben kingsley play ace ventura and pet detective . another reason and this film be a triumph and be the superb set design and photography . while in monty python and it surrealistic landscape and while funny and inventive and never really touch the view on offer here and what be essentially a quarry and be now landmark of britain and with bit of it stick out all over the place . stack of shoe and dismember traffic jam and indeed bed sit room clog up the toxic horizon and all glum and desolate and you half believe the story and a the landscape seem sort of real . i will bet my mum dog that python be influence by the design on display here . a the film be base on a play ( by spike milligan and john antrobus ) i wonder how it look in a theatre . there you have it and a classic film in every way if you like that sort of thing . if you catch it and you will wonder if you saw it and then you will be angry that you have never hear of it and after that you will never forget it and it just a shame you will probably never get to see it .
