The Goose Steps Out ***½ (1942, Will Hay, Charles Hawtrey, Peter Ustinov, Frank Pettingell, Julien Mitchell, Barry Morse, Peter Croft) – Classic Movie Review 4554
Will Hay’s outrageous 1942 British farce is an intriguing and endearing collision between wartime morale-boosting propaganda and slapstick comedy, made at the height of World War Two. Its idea to ‘poke fun at the hun’ […]

Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson play the Sixties TV show characters in director Betty Thomas’s mild, slackly made 2002 action comedy that runs like a poor copy of a Bond movie. Wilson is his usual […]
