EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE is a likeable knockabout comedy and a satire on the whole advertising business, much like HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING was in the 1980s. Marty Feldman is likeably cast as the eccentric protagonist, who hits upon using sex to sell some unlikely frozen porridge. The film has touches of the British sex comedy about it but is rather restrained in tone, aside from a gratuitous nude bathing scene featuring Hammer starlet Julie Ege. It's also a lot cleverer than you'd expect, with the satirical swipes hitting home and some surreal touches which work well. Watch out for Penelope Keith as a Nazi (!) and KEEPING UP APPEARANCES actress Judy Cornwell as Feldman's put-upon wife.
