Jumping for Joy (1955)
Director: John Paddy Carstairs
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Lame, optimistically titled Britcom with young Howerd as the dog-track gopher who's sacked on suspicion of involvement in a doping scandal, but gets his own back on his old bosses by nursing a sick greyhound back to peak condition and winning the big race. Holloway's the con artist in support.Author: TJ

- Posted on Mar 22 2008 09:36 A good clean fun film typical of the period, as a lover of british comedy greats, Frankie is up there with the best even at this early stage of his career.
