Two British soldiers and a WREN take refuge at Stonehenge during a thunderstorm, they are struck by lightning and transported back to ancient Rome.
Harry Watt’s British comedy in which a hitch-hiker travels back in time after being struck by lightning in Stonehenge. Starring Tommy Trinder, Sonnie Hale and Frances Day.
The story concerns a duo of Jolly Jack Tars on shore leave who travel a Wren (lady sailor) to Stonehenge. There, they get trapped in a time warp and find themselves in ancient Rome.
Tommy Trinder and Sonnie Hale both give OK performances in their respective parts as Tommy Taylor and The Professor, the two sailors on leave about to get more than they bargained for when they reach Stonehenge.
Elsewhere, there are OK performances to be had from Frances Day, Francis L. Sullivan and Diana Decker in their respective roles as Poppaea,…
Early Ealing, which was funnier (and more smutty) than I expected. Trinder's impersonation of Carmen Miranda alone is worth the price of admission.
Proto-Brucie Trinder stars in that daft Ealing throaway star vehicle about two time travelling sailors and a WREN in Roman Britain. Has a young, hunky James Robertson Justice as a centurion and Francis L Sullivan.
