Title: Norman Wisdom
Post by: Novena on September 24, 2014, 01:11:07 AM

Norman Wisdom was better than most people realize.  Most of his bad reputation comes from the character he played, " Norman".  


His only American movie is also his best,
"The Night They Raided Minsky's"

Contort!!

Of being a corny and annoying comedian.  Much like Jerry Lewis has here in the States.   I first learned of Sir Norman from a visiting Briton.  He literally sneered and said, "Norman Wisdom is Britain's Jerry Lewis.  Just awful."

I think that probably comedians should never be in charge of the movies they appear in.
