Canada Movie Reviews of Two-Way StretchMovie Review: Mediocre Prison caper with good cast
When Peter Sellers takes the lead rather than a character part in an ensemble cast, warning bells ring. In this mediocre British comedy, Sellers plays a crook in prison, a prison more like a health farm. This must be one of his weakest performances. There is little opportunity for the mimicry which really was his specialty. Without that, Sellers is simply not much of an actor and dull to boot. With a familiar cast of British comedians, in particular the always hilarious Irene Handl, the film has some amusing lines but most of the jokes are too broad without the subtlety of the best of British. There are also some very coarse moments which are worthy of 3rd rate music hall comedy.
