Till Death Us Do Part [1969]
Bloody marvellous - I saw this film in England several years ago (I hadn t even heard about the tv serial) and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I ve been hoping to find it on dvd ever since. Last night I ended up discussing the film with an English mate of mine in a Brussels bar, and he told me the film is now banned in Britain, because it s not p.c. I sincerely hope this is not the case. The film never shocked me and it did NOT turn me into a racist.
Better Than The Series - If you liked the series, then you should love this, it is a really brilliant and well made film.It starts in the war years 1939-45 the atmosphere is fantastic,everything looks just right.Rita is born, and It then moves on to the 1960s, Rita starts courting with Mike, and there are plenty of rows between Alf and Mike about politics etc. It then moves onto the World Cup Final 1966. Mike and Alf go off to wembley to watch match.The original colour footage of the game is fantastic, and blends well into this film.Their terrace house has to be demolished, and the Garnett s move into a block of flats.There was another film made of this popular tv series i think it s called: The World According To Alf Garnett (not a patch on this one)
Full-length film based on the TV series - This film charts the Garnett family story from 1939 through to the late 1960s and is both great classic comedy and an excellent slice of social history. Alf Garnett was a brilliant comic creation and the film pokes satirical fun at him - the archetypal working-class Tory. Don t be put off by the political-correctness brigade : buy this DVD and enjoy!
Guarenteed to put a smile on your face. - Warren Mitchell once again displays the comedy genius of Alf Garnett. Alf is an East Ender with opinions on every subject and he is not afraid to tell people about them. Alf is accompanied by his silly moo wife played by Dandy Nichols, she has a magnificent repertoire of come back lines that only set about inspiring a typical soapbox speech from Garnett. This is a classic piece of comedy up there with the Only Fools and Horses of this world. It is still refreshing and undoubtedly funny when compared to the sitcoms of today. The character of Alf Garnett will live on in my memory for many years. He has given people years of laughter and will continue to do so with this video. It is side splittingly funny and a must for anyone who loved the series.
