A broad naval comedy that kept cinemagoers highly entertained during the early years of World War Two, Sailors Three was Walter Forde's last film for Ealing and Tommy Trinder's first. Co-starring Claude Hulbert and Michael Wilding, this memorable mix of music hall and propaganda is presented here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original fullscreen aspect ratio. On shore leave from HMS Ferocious at a neutral South American port, three sailors have one shandy too many before re-boarding their ship. Unfortunately it's not their ship and they wake up to find they've drunkenly boarded the German pocket battleship Ludendorf!

There are probably more Tommy Cooper video recordings available than there were Tommy Cooper performances. This one is as good as any, but then theyre pretty much all as good as each other. Tommy Cooper, once we figured out what it was about him that made people laugh, rarely deviated from his formula. There are a few examples of him doing that here, venturing into set-piece sketches these mostly have the effect of making the viewer wish hed just put the funny hat back on and carry on doing tricks that didnt work. This was always where Cooper was at his best: making a triumphant virtue of his ineptitude. That he was a supremely hopeless magician is well established, but what is often forgotten is that by the conventional standards of stand-up comedy, he wasnt much good at that either. His punchlines were agonising and, once you became attuned to the dynamics of his set-ups and pay-offs, breathtakingly predictable ("I stopped a man and said Can you give me a lift? He said Yes, youre young, the worlds your oyster, go for it," and so on and so on and so on). For all that, indeed because of that, Cooper was one of the funniest men ever caught on camera: he invited audiences to laugh at him, and he laughed with them while they did so. On the DVD: The sketch selection option is neatly laid out, with a still frame from each one to act as a visual cue. There is also a biography of Cooper, which wont tell many fans much they didnt already know, and a "Gag Book" (a selection of his jokes as scripts), which is a nice touch. --Andrew Muller

Leslie Nielsen tones down the bumbling for Santa Who? but wearing a belly like a bowl full of jelly does little to diminish his trademark dimwittedness, which is what gets the bells ringing on this St. Nick flick. Peter Albright, self-involved TV reporter, can't believe his luck when Santa, presumably the for-hire variety, sails into his windshield and gets amnesia--what a story! When his search for Santa's family stops short at the North Pole, his humbug infestation subsides, setting him free to make merry. Predictability aside, Santa Who? drags a sleigh-full of better than average shenanigans into living rooms, making this a winter-evening warmer for the whole family. --Tammy La Gorce, Amazon.com
This special DVD and audio collection looks at the incredible career of a true super star featuring 20 superb songs and the full length feature film 'At War With The Army'. At War with the Army is a zany comedy starring the irrepressible Dean Martin and his long time film partner Jerry Lewis set in a WWII army training camp. The guys are the best of buddies in civvy street but it just isn't the same when they enlist in the army. The smart and streetwise Vic Puccinelli (Dean Martin) is given an elevated rank of 1st Sergeant whereas the 'challenged' Alvin Korwin (Jerry Lewis) has to settle for the lesser rank of private. The object of the training camp is to beef up be ready for combat and be able to take orders without question. Alvin is not going to be good at this as he soon discovers. His best friend Vic is no longer the guy to share a joke...he doesn't laugh any more he only shouts! Will Alvin ever get the hang of this 'soldier' thing - will he ever see his friend Vic again? A great knockabout comedy in typical Lewis style with the added laid back humour of the brilliant Dean Martin...marvellous!
