British Comedy Guide

The Great Game (1953)

I mainly watched this for Diana Dors who I think is absolutely gorgeous and a very good actress (as they were, correctly, in those days!!)

Listed as a comedy based around a football team, but I saw very little to laugh about, despite the likes of James Hayter, John Laurie, Thora Hird etc.

Mind you, hearing the top players' wages being a huge £14 a week was amusing
