Overview: A fabulous madcap comedy about a pools winner on holiday at the seaside. Peter Sellers debut film.

DVD Verdict: I was never a big fan of the Goons, but I'm a sucker for anything that looks remotely obscure so thought I'd give this early effort of theirs a go personally.

Man, oh reilly, it's really rather quite good and chock full of some inspired moments to be found amongst the more mundane material.

Secombe and Milligan play a couple of innocents, one of whom has won £100,000 on the pools, who return to their holiday boarding house in Brighton only to find themselves the target of gold-diggers and con-men.

Highlights here in 'Penny Points to Paradise' (out now as a brand new HD remaster and the first time ever on disc in North America) include the rather well-built Paddy O'Neill pulling off a clever Bette Davis impersonation, and Freddie Frinton as a drunk who angrily berates the person he's talking to for walking away from him without realizing he is actually the one staggering backwards!

Although he has a couple of parts, Peter Sellers (who himself didn't like the movie at all and actually commented long afterwards to a friend, "It really was a terrifyingly bad film! As you will see when you watch it!") does little other than announce to the world his insuperable skill at making a limited comic talent stretch.

But, we all know where he eventually ended up, so I guess everyone has to start somewhere. This is a Full Screen Presentation (4:3) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
