Review of Rising Damp

Rising Damp (1980)
7/10
A welcome stay at Rigsby's house
28 January 2021
Caught this on ITV Player with <6d to go, I guess, a left over from Christmas. I am a fan of sitcoms (especially anything from the 70's, 80's and 90's).

This movie plays on the main thrust of the plot from the sitcom series, arguably it worked better as a sitcom rather than a film. However, with Richard Beckinsale unfortunately passed away, Chris Strueli provides a sterling performance as 'Alan'. 'Rigsby', 'Miss Jones' and 'Phillip' segue effortlessly into their roles to make for an entertaining (albeit familiar) visit to Rigsby's abode.

I would recommend for the period features of 80's Britan (attitudes left-over from eariler decades) and just all round easy entertainment.
