Basil Radford became a beloved fixture of British comedy, his bumbling double act with Naunton Wayne providing comic relief in some of the era’s most acclaimed films. Whisky Galore! salvages whisky from a wartime shipwreck, Passport to Pimlico discovers a London neighbourhood is technically foreign territory, The Galloping Major buys a racehorse with pooled savings, and Dead of Night recounts supernatural tales at a country house. The Lady Vanishes and Night Train to Munich round out the list.
01 Basil Radford is in this British comedy about a group of eccentric friends who pool their savings to buy a racehorse, with chaotic results.
