San Ferry Ann (Barbara Windsor, David Lodge, Wilfrid Brambell, Joan Sims)

Available on DVD from www.digitalclassics.co.uk and all major retailers. Starring the likes of Barbara Windsor, Wilfred Brambell and Joan Sims, San Ferry Ann finally gets a DVD release. This 'silent' British comedy sees a hapless group of tourist travel on the San Ferry Ann from Dover to Calais. A motley crew of British characters ride The San Ferry Ann to the shores of France where they embark on a weekend of calamity. The campervan family led by Dad and Mum (David Lodge and Joan Sims) create chaos from the moment they set their tires on the shore resulting in frequent run-ins with the Gendarme, while Lewd Grandad (Wilfred Brambell) finds his own misadventures with a newly acquainted friend, a mad German ex-soldier (Ron Moody). Also aboard for the ride is a saucy hitchhiker (Barbara Windsor) who causes a few heads to turn including that of a fellow traveller (Ronnie Stevens) who pursues her affection with comic results. By the end of this weekend the French may well be wishing to say au revoir to these trouble-making tourists. San Ferry Ann is a humorous take on the tradition of the British get-away. A classic sound effect comedy that sits with the likes of similarly praised titles such as The Plank, Futtocks End and Rhubarb Rhubarb.
