SAN FERRY ANN is one of those slapstick British comedies of the 1960s that did away with dialogue in favour of sound and music. This one's a bit longer than more familiar material like THE PLANK, and as such it's a bit strained at the seams. The essential story sees three very different couples heading to the French Riviera for a seaside holiday, with various slapstick antics ensuing. The cast, from Wilfrid Brambell to Barbara Windsor, work hard with their familiar roles, but the quality of the laughs isn't quite what I was expecting or hoping for. Expect a genteel comedy of yesteryear and you'll be better served than I was.
