The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 81m
Director: Frank Launder
Cast: Alastair Sim, Margaret Rutherford, Joyce Grenfell, Richard Wattis
Synopsis:
During postwar austerity a ministerial blunder results in a small boys' boarding school suddenly being invaded by a 'revacuated' school for girls; and parents and governors are due to arrive in the same afternoon!
Review:
Classic British comedy of the postwar period, with some stalwarts of the genre at the peak of their form, a few choice broad strokes and rambunctious music. The reductio ad absurdum at the end is regrettable but this is pacy entertainment with a characteristically satirical edge.
