Customer Reviews
Champion (2008-07-10)  I highly recommend this George Formby classic.A brilliant story of an honest simpleton from Lancashire who wants to ride his bike in the famous TT races on the Isle of Man. He beats some cheating rivals and wins the girl. Clean comedy for all the family to enjoy and some nice songs too. Probably his best film, though maybe not as popular as "Let George Do It". The transfer to DVD is also of good quality for such an old movie. I experienced none of the reported problems with audio-video synchronization.
Put feet up with brew and enjoy (2007-07-19)  Very pleasent light enjoyable sweet funny film enjoyed by all family inc . children ages 9 and 12 on a wet SUNDAY AFTERNOON Some wonderful motorcycle details for the enthusiasts hilarious special effects and a few George ditties to sing along to, all in all a cosy nostalgicbrown tea pot film to relax and enjoy
RIDING IN THE T.T. RACES (2007-07-14)  MEMORIES...THE SOUND OF "PROPER" RACING MOTORCYCLES...GREAT RE-ISSUE, WELL RESTORED ONTO DVDCLEAR PICTURE AND SOUND (QUITE LOUD AT TIMES DURING THE RACING SEQUENCES!)LIKED THE ORIGINAL BRITISH BOARD OF FILM CENSORS TITLE AT THE BEGINNING!
Classic George (2007-06-03)  Perhaps George's best film, certainly his most entertaining. Most of the laughs are, as you'd expect, from the unintentional. George is, as ever, the meek Lancastrian hero, and there's the obligatory cad and sweet girl characters. One thing that had me in stitches was the 'special effects' of George motoring over a cliff top and flipping himself back to the top - the film jumps into a short animated stickman routine. Maybe I'm being harsh here, because much of the humour is genuine and there are some real characters in it, and the unintentionally funny bits are laughing-at, rather than laughing-with. But whichever way you look at it, it's still a good jape and very entertaining.
Top Film! (2003-09-28)  This is a (forgotten) classic biker movie. Unlike certain turgid American offerings, George captures the authentically cheeky, mad-for-it spirit of the British biker. The songs are actually pretty good and the bike-mad sentiment is instantly recognizable. And for those who doubt the credibility of a Ukelele-toting Yorkshireman ... Formby actually rode in the TT in those days before spangly Arais and proper leathers. Full respect!
