Movie Reviews of Who Done It?
Movie Review: I highly recommend it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hugo Dill (Benny Hill) dreams of being a private detective, and when he wins a bloodhound and 100 pounds in a contest, it seems like his time to become one has finally arrived. Making friends (or so he imagines) with Detective-Inspector Hancock, and making the acquaintance of the beautiful Frankie Mayne, he starts his career. However, when a group of spies decide they can use Dill as a dupe, he quickly finds himself in over his head. Now, Dill must stay clear of the police, and stop the spies' evil machinations. Can he do it? He'll get by with a little help from his friends!
I grew up watching Benny Hill - a British master of burlesque comedy. This 1956 movie was his first starring role on the big screen, and he played it for all he was worth. Admittedly, this is lighter fare than you might be used to with Benny Hill - there's no head slapping, and no semi-naked ladies, though there is a chase scene. But, what there is is a lot of funny situations and a highly entertaining story.
If you are a fan of old movies, especially old British movies, like I am, then I really think that you will like this movie. I highly recommend it!
Oh by the way, there is a great "bonus" on this DVD - a thirty minute "silent movie." This 1969 film features Benny and David Battley (remember the teacher from Willie Wonka?) as incompetent waiters that some poor family hires to run their party. Their hijinks quickly turn the party into a disaster...along with their employer's house! Watch it, and enjoy!
