ReviewsReviewer: Ken Arthur - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - September 15, 2024
Subject: Gentle Boutling Brothers comedy based on the novel
A gentle satire of the British legal system in the 1950s, based on the comic novel of the same name published in 1955, written by former barrister Henry Cecil.
Ian Carmichael stars as trainee barrister Roger Thursby, with support from Dicky Attenborough as his fellow trainee. Nice cameos from John le Mesurier as a Judge who's keen on golf, and from Eric Barker as the Barristers' clerk. Also, a brief but telling appearance by Terry-Thomas as Thursby's only criminal client.
This is a comedy of errors, with young Thursby committing every possible mistake on every possible occasion, redeeming himself only at the very end of the picture.
In part it's also a romantic comedy, with Thursby pursuing in vain the pretty girl daughter of one of the Solicitors from whom he gets his cases. In vain does he chase success in Court, and success in love, so it's definitely a comedy based on frustration, giving the film an old-fashioned feel. Very enjoyable.
Reviewer: JackSLee - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - July 18, 2022
Subject: Humour mixed with truth
This is a delightful movie that will not age. My wife, who used to be a lawyer, said early on in our viewing that many articling lawyers will relate to this - being thrust into court with no preparation, the worry about your future, success, money, his lack of confidence, his fear of judges, and implied pressure from your family.
The scene where he meets with a man accused of forgery in his jail cell is interesting. It is here paradoxically, he receives his best advice which he can finally apply in the last court room scene.
