Summary: 5 Stars
It would be hard to beat the late Leonard Rossiter when it comes to comedy. Excellent movie that will keep you laughing.
Summary of Rising Damp - The Movie
The smash-hit Britcom recreated as a laugh-filled feature filmHailed as one of Britain's funniest TV series ever, Rising Damp reaches new heights of hilarity as a full-length feature. Leonard Rossiter (The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin) reprises his role as Rupert Rigsby, the meddling, lecherous landlord for the most ridiculous bunch of social misfits ever collected under one roof. They include Miss Jones (Frances de la Tour), a spinster for whom the hope of romance springs eternal?except when it means returning Rigsby?s affections; Philip (Don Warrington), the self-proclaimed son of an African tribal chief, and Seymour (Denholm Elliott), an oily con man with designs of his own on Miss Jones.
As always, the inimitable Rossiter is the straw that stirs this comic concoction, which fizzes with outrageous insults, double entendres, and tidbits of slapstick. You'll see why Rising Damp: The Movie walked off with three honors (including Best Comedy) at the Evening Standard British Film Awards.
DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE original theatrical trailer, photo gallery and cast filmographies.
