Will Hay became one of British cinema’s biggest comedy stars of the 1930s and 40s, his pompous, incompetent authority-figure persona anchoring a beloved run of farces. Oh, Mr Porter! uncovers smuggling at a remote Irish station, Ask a Policeman has bumbling village police chasing a ghost, The Ghost of St Michael’s investigates supposed supernatural events at a school, and My Learned Friend finds a lawyer on a killer’s list. Where There’s a Will and Boys Will Be Boys round out the list.
