3 out of 5 stars From clerk to a queen's favorite   September 17, 2008
Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth)
After appearing on three early BBC-TV sitcoms, Norman Wisdom made a string of comedies for the Rank Organsation. The MAN OF THE MOMENT (presented here by TELEVISTA) is one of these. Here, Norman is a Civil Service file clerk who substitutes for an ailing delegate at a Geneva conference. When he's sacked for accidentally vetoing a planned British/US base near the South Sea island of Tawaki, the queen of that land will only renegotiate terms with Norman.


Norman Wisdom also stars in UP IN THE WORLD (available from TELEVISTA Nov. '08).
