The hero, Jim Dixon (Ian Carmichael), is a well-intentioned junior history professor in an unnamed British university. Hoping to impress the new chancellor, Jim succeeds only in bollixing up everything he touches. When he's not stuck in the middle of a slapstick car chase, Jim is trying to think up an excuse for that slightly inebriated blonde with whom he is innocently sharing a boudoir. Blunder piles upon blunder, until it looks as though Jim's chances at survival in the university are slim to none. But Fortune smiles ...

Format: VHS
Studio: Nostalgia Family Video
Date: 1958
Description: Starring Ian Carmichael, Terry-Thomas, Hugh Griffith. Run time: 91 minutes.. Based on the novel by Kingsley Amis. Black & white. Mediocre transfer to tape but still watchable. This film with Ian Carmichael in the title role does not do justice to Amis' novel with its satire on British society and the new redbrick universities. However there are some really funny moments and overall the film does give a sense of what life was like back in the 1950s. read more
