#32 Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?

Keilth Nesbit = The Standard Character

Pros: Peculiar and rare film conceived in the UK, is one of those types of films that you don't see commonly on television or in cinemas, maybe reading about it I'm sure you didn't even know it or knew it existed, but if some strange reason you get to have the chance to look at it I would tell you they're not bad after all, it's a decent film. Peter Hewitt as director and the actors in the cast are great, David is Nesbit the office manager were Harold (Tom Courtenay) works, who throughout the film showed us his peculiar life, so the film has positive things and not because it is unknown does not mean that it is so bad.

Cons: I swear I thought this film would make me laugh, but I don't get it at all, I was only attracted by some hilarious scenes/moments, I thought that the mix of the 70's retro themes and the science fiction that the film handles would be something really fascinating, but all hopes faded away, David's character is nothing extraordinary to call him a great secondary, he is the typical head of the office that appears at times during the film to throw his snaps, and on the other hand this Stephen Fry who has good scenes during the film but never gives one between him and David and that's a pity, because I was looking forward to seeing a funny scene between them. The end of the film is too strange for my taste.
