A delight for canal enthusiasts.
A beautifully made film mainly shot on location. I’m the first to admit that this isn’t a movie for the person looking for big ‘belly laughs’, but for lovers of the English canal system and it’s history who like wistful humour and some beautifully subtle moments and some classic lines, it’s superb. Harry H Corbett is billed as the Casanova of the canals but his (Hemel Pike) first love affair is with ‘the cut’, his early line where he says “The only way you’ll get me off the canal is to fill it in”, will strike a chord with canal enthusiasts. So I can quite understand why people rate this film lower as it is slightly specialised. For those interested in film locations, Leg O’ Mutton Lock, the main location in the film is in fact Marsworth top lock on the Grand Union canal and is almost exactly the same today as in 1963, lots more boats though! Corbett’s portrayal as Hemel Pike is either a tribute to his research into the canal way of life or he had experience of it as all his actions are extremely accurate. If you love canals you’ll love this film. If you are looking for big laughs and constant action you’ll be disappointed. I love it. 10 out of 10.
A trip down nostalgias canal
A great period piece featuring a whose who of Mid sixties tv comedy. Harry H Corbett is Hamel a lovely romeo who sails the canals with a girl at every lock gate.He wouldn’t and doesn’t want to change this way of life until the inevitable intervenes.
Honourable mentions to Ronnie Barker, Julie Foster and Hugh Griffiths.
It depicts a way of life and attitudes that have long since gone and is enjoyable because of this.
