Nothing Barred

Nothing Barred is a 1961 British black and white comedy film directed by Darcy Conyers and starring Brian Rix, Leo Franklyn and Naunton Wayne.But public interest proves minimal, and with rapidly mounting debts and the spiralling costs of his daughter's upcoming wedding threatening to ruin him, Whitebait is forced to take desperate measures.The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A typical Whitehall farce which soon abandons its mistaken identity theme for the lunacy of a mass prison break.On the way the flimsy plot takes in plenty of trouser-shedding, good-natured fun at the expense of the law, the hard-up aristocracy and the stately home racket, and finds room for Brian Rix's celebrated female impersonation act.Too much is laboured, but the improvisations of Leo Franklyn, Naunton Wayne, Charles Heslop, John Slater and Irene Handl fill out the nit-witted fringe.
