HAIR OF THE DOG

    IMDb Page

    Also stars a host of famous British names such as Reginald Beckwith, John Le Mesurier, Brian Oulton, Stanley Unwin & Barbara Windsor. Also features bit parts from Clement Freud, Gretchen Franklin (Ethel from Eastenders!) and John Junkin.

    A great little hidden gem - we unearthed a copy thanks to the good people at Canal +, The UK Film Council and Granada International.

    Stan plays Jim Lester, the new Marketing Manager at a Razor Blade Factory who falls in love with his secretary. Her father just happens to be the commissionaire at the factory, who grows a beard after suffering a bout of shaving rash - the beard changes his life and goes down very badly with the management, leaving Stan to try and smooth the waters. Stan gets plenty of screen time and puts in a great performance (obviously glad to not be playing a policeman for once!)
