Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise star in this hilarious spoof comedy thriller. The two entertainers become embroiled in a 1940's murder mystery when they take Eric's niece under their wing, after she arrives at the stage door at the end of one of their shows. Lysette Anthony plays the leading lady as Eric Morecambe's niece, in this funny and affectionate send-up of some of the great thriller writers, from Edgar Wallace and Raymond Chandler to Agatha Christie.
I love Morecambe & Wise but this film, is the worst thing they have ever done, it looks like its been made on the cheap, wasnt funny..sorry boys but i would give it a miss..
I hadnt actually heard of this Morcambe and Wise film before although being a great fan and was actually browing for their Christmas compilation. Loved the film as it is the two comedians at their best - one of their least known films but if you are a fan of Morecame and Wise then you will enjoy this
For Morecombe & Wise fans this TV movie is a typical example of their humor and comic delivery. Although obviously scripted Eric still manages to make it look as if he is adlibing all the way through. The gags are well worn, but still make you laugh. The 'Murder Mystery' plot line is predictable and has obvious signs of many old movie classics. That said, you will still not guess 'who done it'. Eric and Ernie are still one of the UK's best comedy double acts of all time. My wife and I loved it, and them!
i'm collecting morecambe and wise , and this is one i have'nt got ,the trouble was the seller did'nt have it to sell to me , the seller bought it of another ebayer who in turn did'nt suply it to her,i was not very happy,at least i got my money back
I brought Morecamce and Wise- Night Train to Murder as a christmas present so I've not watched it.The packaging was very good, it was colourful and eye catching.
