COMEDIAN Tommy Handley reprises his best-loved role in this celluloid spin-off from the phenomenally popular BBC radio show ITMA – a light-entertainment staple that ran for a decade from 1939 and contributed significantly towards morale by bringing much-needed comic relief to a war-weary British public. It’s That Man Again (U) is released on DVD on 25 January 2016, RRP £9.99, courtesy of Network’s ‘The British Film’ collection.
Making stars of Jack Train (New Town), Dorothy Summers (No Haunt For A Gentleman) and Sydney Keith (The Adding Machine), It's That Man Again is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
Tommy, mayor of the small town of Foaming-at-the-Mouth, is trying to balance the civic accounts – but constant interruptions by his incompetent assistant Sam Scram and nosey charlady Mrs Mopp are severely hampering the job. His troubles escalate, however, when he's forced to admit that he's invested all the municipal funds in a crumbling London theatre. There's a clip at the link above.
