the happy day of your life showcases some of britain great comedy talent of it time in a traditionally farcical and upper class twit like fashion . generally it be a whistle stop tour of stuffy english behaviour with the girl only school provide a great setting for the dotty going on . margaret rutherford and alastair sim and most especially . joyce grenfell be all fantastic and give u a lot of laugh a they express their utter horror at what they be have to deal with . a the film move on and thing get silly and sillier with the tour around the school for the parent be a suitably cracker high point . at this point i will give special mention and again and to joyce grenfell and her wonderful character miss gossage . she be so extraordinarily innocent and silly and apologetic and ineffectual that she seem to steal the whole film . she provide the great laugh of the film when she flirt with a male teacher ( call me sausage . ) . whilst some of the film be slow or date and and not always very involve and it still maintain most of it sparkle and barely pause for romance . good for a silly and harmless giggle . positive .
