Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise star in this hilarious spoof comedy thriller. The two entertainers become embroiled in a 1940's murder mystery when they take Eric's niece under their wing, after she arrives at the stage door at the end of one of their shows. Lysette Anthony plays the leading lady as Eric Morecambe's niece, in this funny and affectionate send-up of some of the great thriller writers, from Edgar Wallace and Raymond Chandler to Agatha Christie.
The Movie:
This TV movie usually doesn't get a fair deal and is not that popular, however I found it enjoyable. Granted, it's not Morecambe and Wise at their very best however it has funny moments, Eric and Ernie still have that magic touch even if the story is a little slow at first. This is Morecambe and Wise's last work on television together and as they walk off to their next gig they are still joking until the very end.
The DVD:
The picture quality is good. Shot on video tape, I didn't notice any video drop outs or any other problems. However this DVD has no menu or chapter points.
