Hal Monty Movies
- 1949
Five scriptwriters pooled their talents on the 79-minute British programmer Bless 'Em All. The stars are radio and music-hall favorites Hal Monty and Max Bygraves, cast as a pair of silly soldiers. The boys battle each other and their sergeant Les Ritchie over the affections of toothsome Patricia Linova. Things take a serious turn when Monty and Bygraves participate in the evacuation of Dunkirk. Not surprisingly, the title song is performed as often and as loudly as possible. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

We're not sure, but the character of "Skimpy Carter" must have had some sort of following in Britain. Why else would a whole movie--Skimpy in the Navy--be built around this thinnish character? Music hall star Hal Monty plays the title role, playing an ex-soldier who becomes a sailor in order to seek out buried treasure. Monty and his pals Max Bygraves (later a stellar comedian in his own right) and Les Ritchie search and dig to and fro, all for the love of heroine Avril Angers. 84 minutes of forgettable songs and shapeless slapstick later, Skimpy emerges triumphant. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
