The Bulldog Breed [VHS] Review

WHAM!USA has now released a number of Norman Wisdom comedies that were so popular in the 50s and 60s, starting with the hilarious "Trouble in Store". These films made Norman Wisdom--now Sir Norman--a comedy icon all over the globe. He was small in stature--5'2"--very athletic and acrobatic, and had a downtrodden, everyman, working class image, accompanied by ill-fitting clothes and a cloth cap. Some critics were not kind to his brand of slapstick comedy, but with legions of fans buying tickets to his movies and laughing at his antics, Sir Norman could safely ignore the snobbish "intellectuals" who derided his talent. You can be sure that the J. Arthur Rank Studios were happy with his success too !

Here we have "The Bulldog Breed" from 1960 where Sir Norman plays Norman Puckle, a poor young fellow who has just been rejected by the girl of his dreams. Clearly suicide is the only answer ! After various attempts to "end it all", Norman is rescued by a sailor who persuades him that there are many other beautiful women all over the world who are mad about men in uniform--especially a naval uniform. So young Puckle joins the Navy and--you guessed it--causes one riotous disaster after another. He is soon viewed with deep disapproval by the "brass". However, there is also the feeling that he might be the right man to send into space in the Navy's new experimental rocket. Perhaps they are hoping that the rocket might not return to Earth ? !

There are a number of funny scenes where Sir Norman does what he does best--innocently cause total mayhem ! He is ably supported by a solid British cast--Ian Hunter, David Lodge, Robert Urquhart, Edward Chapman( stalwart in several Wisdom comedies )and Eddie Byrne. Sexy Liz Fraser has a great scene where she tries to seduce our hero with the expected comical results. Finally there is an early scene with two unknown actors who don't even receive credit--Michael Caine and Oliver Reed. I wonder if Sir Michael remembers his brief encounter with Sir Norman ?

The DVD is black and white--full screen--decent quality--and includes the trailer. The price is a bit steep, but Sir Norman's fans will still be pleased to see his classic comedies released in North America.

As of this writing, Sir Norman is still with us--at 94 years young--and, I understand, still working ! What an amazing man ! Thank you Sir Norman for all the smiles and chuckles--this crazy world can never have enough of those priceless gifts !
