Only for fans of Richard Hearne

Richard Hearne was an extremely acrobatic comedian who was best know for his comic old man "Mr Pastry".It clearly owed much of its origins to the music hall.So today most of the comedy look rather quaint and outdated and sadly rather unfunny.The story is almost pointless and at times unintelligible.There are some very good actors who are spent very much wasting their time in this dross.There are fans of Hearne who will enjoy this film but they are rather a minority,however I am sure that they will enjoy watching their hero in is his prime.Otherwiseif you are one of the majority you will undoubtedly feel that your time was wasted.
