Up the Creek (1958)
Oh Mr Porter ! was much better

This is the same story as Oh Mr Porter ! In which an incompetent idiot gets posted to a sleepy location to keep him out of harms way. He then becomes involved in all sorts of trouble.
Val Guest, the director, was one of the writers on the original and even copies a couple of lines word-for-word. The other film is a true classic and this one is interesting but that's all. There were many films produced around this time often containing the same group of actors. Lionel Jeffries, David Lodge, Sam Kydd (of course), Patrick Cargill, and others. It's always good to see David Tomlinson and Wilfred Hyde-White. Peter Seller's character doesn't work, at least, for me. I was pleased to see it.
