Featured review
Becomes repetitive
RHUBARB is, like THE PLANK, an almost-silent short featuring Harry Secombe, Jimmy Edwards and Eric Sykes. They start out as police but end up on the golf course, and the hook is that there's no word of dialogue other than the repeated 'rhubarb'. I enjoyed this one at the outset but found that once the action moves to the golf course it becomes increasingly repetitive and there's only so much humour you can get out of people hiding in the bushes and tossing golf balls around. A pity because the cast are on form and there are welcome cameos and minor roles for the likes of Kenneth Connor and Hattie Jacques, always welcome.
