This is genius. I grew up watching Norman, most kids in my school has never heard of him. They dont make comedy like this any more.

This is a take-off of the '50s-'60s celebrity hairdresser, Raymond, "Mr Teasy-Weasy". So funny!

I first watched this film when I was 7. Ever since then, the Guilio Napolitani music has been embedded into my head. It's the same with the theme to "The Vikings".

On the Beat and Follow are Star. Norman Wisdom at his best. I love this man. 24 years of age today and I grew up watching this guy from the age of 4 😆. What can you say I have Great taste 👮‍♂️✨❤️

I love the way he says 'creaite' 😆

love the dance at 1:50.... remember watching this as a kid and crying laughing!!! Now i am all grown up I still laugh at it just the same. Just really glad I got to meet him when I was younger... such a down to earth person and was very warm and friendly to his fans. A true legend not just in comedy but in every aspect of what he did and a role model to everyone on how to treat people... love that line at the end ''I have only one pair of hands.... shutta your mouth'' hahahahaha

Genius.

You can easily see where 'Prince' got his look and act from.

I remember watching this with my dad and sister and my dad loved it because me and my sister couldn’t stop laughing especially the way he walked

Best hair salon ever

Absolute Creative Comedic Genius at its Very very best. 💜😪💔

God, the brits had style in the sixties!

Legend!..Even into his late 60,s he could carry this off...watch him on "the Bob Monkhouse Show 1983"..Classic Norm..:)

RIP Norman Wisdom

Bad ass actor legend best today if he was alive

Norman Wisdom at his best. He certainly did 'camp' very well!

Have the film on now and love the charleston ... And loving the sergeant teaching him how to "swing his hips" to impersonate him :D xxxx

i could watch this clip over and over , brilliant

norman wisdom the best ever

1.52 Norman starts to 'Charleston'...tee hee... I love it, love Norman's films, they always make me laugh and smile... :0)x

Guilio , he create !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Life back then were great. The fashion and hairstyles and very cheap prices. Great programs and things for the home and wall papers and carpets. Life now is shite. Life back in the 60s and 70s far better than now.

The (excellent) Giulio Napolitani theme seems to be some kind of take on Never On Sunday - check out the Ramsey Lewis Trio version, not the original Ta Paidia Tou Piraia. Right era too.

What a talent Sir Norman Wisdom was. Missed by so many!

A British institution! He was Brilliant. Gone forever :o( He was part of the family, even if you felt you didn't have one.

Epic

In any other country (apart from the US, they don't appreicate Jerry Lewis either), he would have been considered a genius, in the UK he was viewed by the mainstream media as a bit silly and quaint. Look at this performance, there's nothing quaint about it, it's manic craziness! He had the magic just as much as Peter Sellers, but their real life personalities took them down different paths.

i used to watch this with my grampa, always laughed at this

@marcelo06 One of Norman's best films and one of my favourites as well. Napolitani makes us laugh a lot.

YES!!

@irishjanet.. WOW you lucky thing... Did you meet Norman too... I would have loved it if that had been me... Congratulations on having a super Mum and seeing her on film/DVD forever, especially here on KZfaq... Regards from Wales :0)x

@saunders2159 Yes, Mr. Teasie-Weasie! I thought the same thing when I saw this!

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background and who it's by?

Not just knockabout but also satirical. Anyone remember the celebrity hairdresser, Raymond (Raymond Bessone)?

This Lady Eleanor Summerfeld Is My Lovely Mum And I Was With My Mum Eleanor Summerfeld When My Mum Was Playing Sergeant Wilkins In This Film On The Beat It Was So So So Lovely When My Mum Did Walk In To The Hairdressers To Have Her HairCut I Do Liked My Lovely Mum It Is True

What is the tune called.

Which norman wisdon film is this? Been tryna find it for years..

Very funny. And is that Emily Blunt's blonde Gran at 2:15?

@Lytton333 she certainly is!

Can you believe just 10 years later he turned down the role of the Godfather

@dwig11 It's really amazing what we can read here in the comments....))))

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background and who it's by? I heard it on the radio a while ago but forgot, and now it's really bugging me!

I don't know what Norm's on about.. Eleanor is quite a poppet..

1:48

0:48 not very discreet Some way to act when YOUR employer asked YOU a question at 2:41 ish
