Movies starring Terry-Thomas

Brass Monkey (1948)

100 mins     Crime, Drama      

Right off the bat let me say there is only two reasons to watch "Brass Monkey" now; one of those is if you are a fan of any of the stars be it Carroll Levis or Terry-Thomas who shows up. But for those who watch because they a...

Private's Progress (1956)

102 mins     Comedy, War      

As I sat watching "Private's Progress" I felt surprisingly disappointed by it all especially as among British audiences it is one of the most popular Boulting Brothers comedies. The disappointment comes from the familiarity b...

Blue Murder at St. Trinian's (1957)

86 mins     Comedy      

Blue Murder at St. Trinian's: The girls of St Trinian's are running wild and even the police ar scared, whilst Flash Harry has been pimping the girls to a Prince...

Lucky Jim (1957)

95 mins     Comedy      

The Boulting Brothers made some great movies but when it comes to "Lucky Jim" they ended up making a disappointing one especially for fans of Kingsley Amis' novel from which it is adapted. Now I haven't read Amis' novel but I...

tom thumb (1958)

98 mins     Family, Fantasy, Musical      

Lessons I have learned from reviewing movies include not all movies watched as a child are as good when watched many years later as a grown up. It isn't a new lesson as many know this but it is one I am reminded of having wat...

I'm All Right Jack (1959)

105 mins     Comedy      

I'm All Right Jack (1959) Ian Carmichael stars in this British comedy as a wet behind the ears university graduate who finds himself a pawn between the business owners and the union when he gets his first job...

School for Scoundrels (1960)

94 mins     Comedy      

It's probably wrong for me to say so but the idea of getting "one up" on someone has always appealed to me so it's no surprise that I enjoy the 1960s version of "School for Scoundrels". From the relatively simple storyline as...

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965)

138 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

Even when you use its truncated title "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11 minutes" still has a long title and that is not the only thing which is long about it as ...

You Must Be Joking! (1965)

100 mins     Comedy      

You Must Be Joking! (1965) 60s British comedy which sees a group of soldiers are sent out on a scavenging hunt as an initiative test...

Our Man in Marrakesh (1966)

92 mins     Comedy      

As a rule I enjoy Hitchcock movies but have never gone crazy about them and as such whilst I can spot movies which if you like pay homage to Hitchcock I have never been too bothered out them. Take "Our Man in Marrakesh" which...

Rocket to the Moon (1967)

119 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Fantasy      

Watching "Rocket to the Moon" or "Those Fantastic Flying Fools" a few things came to mind but the main one was that it just doesn't work. You see "Rocket to the Moon" aimed to be one of those comedies such as "Monte Carlo or ...

Monte Carlo or Bust! (1969)

120 mins     Comedy      

There is part of me which is confused by "Monte Carlo or Bust!" and not just because it's also known as "Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies". Nope I am confused as to why such a movie which came from the same peo...

Robin Hood (1973)

83 mins     Adventure , Animation, Family      

I have always liked movies before my time and I am wondering if that is the reason why Disney's "Robin Hood" has never blown me away. Now I should say that I was born in 1972 and Disney's "Robin Hood" should have been a movie...

The Vault of Horror (1973)

83 mins     Horror      

There isn't a huge amount that can be said about "The Vault of Horror" as we have a horror anthology which means five mini horror stories all of which are quite fun but nothing special as the confines of course roughly 15 min...
