This wasn't quite as good as the billing and the story almost ran on tramlines but it is amusing. All the Ealing elements are there, friendly small community, local worthy in difficulty, big bank threatening, baddies who are incompetent, a funny climax and a happy ending.
Look out for Emma Thompson's mum as a stoned shop-keeper with a strange line in headgear and Denise Coffey, an under-rated actress who I remember running home from primary school to see in 'Do Not Adjust Your set' with Eric Idle in about 1967.
Worth a look and Blethyn is good as always but not quite as good as it could have been, perhaps a tad sentimental for modern British tastes but might play well in American art houses. Nice Cornish (?) scenery.
