ReviewsVariety - ...A neat comedy rooted in uniquely English eccentricities....With excellent production design, camerawork and musical score credits, it makes for an ace eccentric [picture]..., New York Times - ...High-hearted....A comedy of immense if often scatological charm...

Brilliant, funny and a must see
A wonderful cast of actors many now very famous. A story thats funny and compelling to watch . Made me laugh snd laugh yet portrays the very real hard time of food rationing that continued long after the end of WW2.

Top UK film
One of the best British films of all time. Maggie Smith, Michael Palin, Denholm Elliott, Richard Griffiths - absolutely fabulous. The pig's pretty good too (though they used 3 animals in the filming).

How can sound be this bad?
A good film utterly ruined by a desperately poor sound track.
