I never mentioned the early Hanmmer films production of 'Dick Barton,
Special Agent', the humour of even the thought of that might escape American
readers, though Brits who have seen it might wake in genuine horror in the
night. It includes, by the way, my vote for the Chicago Boxing Association
Worst Pulled Punch Ever Award, involving as it does an actor staggering
backwards, clutching his jaw, cross the whole width of a ship's deck. While
the notion of a film of a radio show inevitably brings to mind a whole
gallery of dreadful TV-inspired Brit 'films of the series', of whivch even
the Dad's Army attempt was uninspired, but the true pits were probably
reached with a cinematic inflation of the already dreadful 'On the Buses',
starring New Zealand's own, the unforgettably forgetable, the thankfully
late, Reg Varney.
