"There was a Crooked Man" - long-seen Norman Wisdom film available on DVD

by isleofman.com 5th April 2017

Unseen for over fifty years, "There was a Crooked Man" (PG), is an exceptionally rare-seen British film, featuring comedy legend Norman Wisdom playing a naive explosives expert who finds himself involved with a criminal gang after uncovering nefarious dealings by a prominent industrialist!

Hailed as one of Wisdom's finest films, it was one of two features he made independently, and marked a departure from his more familiar and endlessly popular comic creation, 'the Gump'. Co-starring Alfred Marks and Susannah York, There Was a Crooked Man was directed by BAFTA-nominated Stuart Burge from blacklisted screenwriter Reuben Ship.

This long sought-after comedy gem is available for the first time on DVD after an HD Restoration from www.networkonair.com/.
