The Adelphi Collection: You Lucky People! - DVD

YOU LUCKY PEOPLE!
A film by Maurice Elvey

Forward march for vintage fun and laughter with legendary quick-fire comic Tommy Trinder in this raucous parade-ground comedy.

Reservist Tommy Smart (Trinder) has made his fortune selling army surplus and is not best pleased to be recalled to barracks for two weeks compulsory training. Arriving with his trusty manservant, his dreams of a quiet life are shattered when he gets an ear-splitting welcome from his old enemy, Sergeant Thickpenny (Rufus Cruickshank), and the notorious R S M Brittain, who's already decided Tommy is an ''orrible little man'.

The war might be over but with a mountain of spud-bashing to do and some highly irregular night manoeuvres to be carried out, it's just one skirmish after another around this highly active army base. But will Tommy make it back to civvy street in one piece?

Transferred in High Definition from the original negatives, this rare and rip-roaring Adelphi film also stars the delightful Dora Bryan and a young Rolf Harris. A fully illustrated accompanying booklet includes original promotional materials and detailed film notes by BFI Curator Vic Pratt.
