暴风资源网提供本资源 这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。 An absurdist classic This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the lay by Sike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the oening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscae, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million eole erished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralh Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his imending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Sike Milligan is a ostman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for examle And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeing in my orridge' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no orridge, that was my wife' . Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a arrot (which is then eaten by Sike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is regnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a air of olicemen who eretually tell the others to kee moving!. Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic leasures.
