Good quality transfer to DVD. This is one of the best in the series, with a cracking script, showing off Arthur Lucan's over the top washerwoman, Old Mother Riley character to it's best. The plot has Lucan getting he sack from the laundry after a quarrel with its owner and perspective candidate for Parliament.Riley finds out that he wishes to pull down their homes and the local pub and decides to stand for Parliament herself.The social points of the haves and the have-nots are as fresh today as it was in the year of release 1939.Riley is appointed Minister of Strange Affairs,(there should be one of those!) and in a stupid ending to a good farce, forces an Emperor of a tin pot country called Rocavia to cough up a dept of £50,000,000 owing to Britain. Very topical you see. This also benefits with Kitty Mcshane, his real wife at the time, being sidelined from much of the plot. Third billed and looking like some 1950s beefcake actor is Brit Torin Thatcher,later to be a brilliant villain in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958).Well worth a look.
