He's the very manifestation of the triumph of the underdog, how he inadvertently trashes the snobbish rich people's mores. In this case, he has a drag race on Grimsdale's bed, and later has to dress up as a nurse after a sticky situation which was probably inserted to appeal to teenage boys. The movie culminates in a musical performance unlike any that you've ever seen. All in all, it's something that you're sure to like.

And some of those nurses were really hot! This film really does highlight Norman Wisdom at his best and features all the elements that made him such a fantastic screen clown. Ably supported by Jerry Desmonde and Edward Chapman the film manages to feature all of the humour and the sentiment that make Wisdom's films so special.

This one is particular shows him at his best because the sentiment is kept in check and there's none of the silly business of Norman playing multiple roles that perhaps bogged down his later outings.

Although it feels like a combination of sketches at times Norman as a ST John's ambulance member, Norman as a nurse they are brilliant ones, and there is enough of a plot to hold them all together. The scenes with Lindy are especially well written and it is perhaps this element that makes 'A Stitch in Time' my favourite of Norman's films. Music is by Philip Green and cinematography by Jack Asher. Although not prime Wisdom, A Stitch in Time holds the secrets as to what made the diminutive star so popular.

Obviously his style of slapstick and malarkey for laughs isn't for everyone, but Wisdom's career blossomed because the feel good factor in his movies was always so high. While there was nearly always a sweet thread in his movies, where the harsh critics would cite schmaltz or sappiness, others rightly point to the honest escapism factor, a chance to forget the world and its troubles for a brief moment in time.

Grimsdale Chapman at the town butchers. When Grimsdale is hospitalised, Pitkin is determined to help wherever possible, which unfortunately means chaos will follow. This set-up allows Wisdom to indulge in a number of high spirited sequences involving motorised beds, teeth extractions, stretcher bearing, ambulance surfing, marching band chaos and even dressing up in drag.

The "tender" sub-plot involves an orphan girl who after losing her parents in a plane crash, refuses to talk or smile, but Norman is on that case with the message being the innocence of unprejudiced kindness.

That's that, really, all wrapped up in just under an hour and half of film. Harmless and innocent fun for those who want to escape their blues. SimonJack 13 November I think it is one of his better films. In this one, he had some touching scenes on a serious side, but these relate to the humor he brings in a hospital setting.

Norman Wisdom was a star of British cinema in the midth century. But his character had much more and was his own. Three things distinguish Wisdom — his perpetual smile and happy attitude, his exceedingly high energy level, and his physical abilities. In this film, Wisdom plays his familiar character, Norman Pitkin. Many other comedians used hospital settings in movie plots, and one can expect the same types of hilarious situations in this one.

A hospital gurney race is one of the funniest I've ever seen. This film has some slapstick comedy to rival the best of early American comedy teams. And the musical ending is special. Wisdoms style of comedy has gone out of fashion and is rather self indulgent. So watching this for the first and last time was as painful as sitting in his dentists chair.

I managed to laugh once when he pulled the wrong tooth from the lady visitor. Very funny and surprisingly well made film. Norman Wisdom does not put a foot wrong, well he does but he's supposed to! What is particularly gratifying here is that whilst Wisdom is his brilliant self, everybody else puts in excellent and thoughtful performances.

There is none of the 'prima donna' stuff we tend to get in the 'Carry On' films of the period and everybody is mainly interested in making themselves look good. Peter Jones, for instance puts in a magnificent performance as a St Johns Ambulance Brigade leader in a little scene that becomes central to the whole film. From the very beginning in the butcher's shop the slapstick is immaculate and typified by the hospital trolley race, Wisdom's tone is some magical mix of the male desire to prove himself and wanting to be a little boy again.

In the hospital, Pitkin befriends orphan Lindy, but gets kicked out of the hospital.
