Description:
The smash-hit Britcom recreated as a laugh-filled feature film
Hailed 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.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - English humor
My British in-laws visit us every year for 4 months during which time I need to amuse them. I purchased this dvd for my father-in-law at his request. He had enjoyed the tv program of the same name in UK. He loved this movie and laughed out loud almost continuously. My mother-in-law smiled several times, and my husband and I winced. It is typical 70's humor, English style. If you like that kind of humor, you will love this dvd.
