A 'Not-So' Forgotten British Film...
The Bargee 1963 is a gorgeous romp around the canals of England and features Harry H. Corbett as The Casanova of the Canals
with ‘a bird in every lock’ Harry plays Hemel Pike a narrow boat trader
who won’t give-up his way of life on the water until one of his women
becomes pregnant and he is forced by her drunk of a father to try and
find work on land. A colourful film created by the writing team of
Galton and Simpson, it also finds room for the talents of Ronnie Barker,
Hugh Griffith and Eric Sykes. A very funny film that is both
wonderfully nostalgic and beautifully shot in the sunshine of an English
summer.
