Lucky Jim (1957 John Boulting)

From Kingsley Amis novel, adapted by Patrick Campbell, film about life as history professor in university isn't that funny, but nevertheless enjoyable, though we wanted the dog to end up with Ian Carmichael. Hugh Griffith is great as the forgetting head of department. With Kenneth Griffith, Sharon Acker, a bearded Terry-Thomas, Maureen Connell, Reginald Beckwith, Clive Morton, Ronald Cardew.

A distinctive score by John Addison, shot by 'Max Greene'.
