Movie unseen for 50 years
A rare Norman Wisdom film unseen for more than 50 years is being released on DVD for the first time - and his biographer insists it is screened on the Isle of Man.
'There Was a Crooked Man' will be put out in the UK by Network Distributing from 8 May this year.
It features the comedy legend Manx resident star as a naive explosives expert, who finds himself involved with a criminal gang after uncovering nefarious business deals.
The film was one of two that he made independently - co-starring Alfred Marks and Susannah York.
Richard Dacre wrote '‘Trouble In Store – Norman Wisdom, a career in comedy’ - in which he tells the story of Norman's life - he explains why the film needs to be seen by the Manx people:
Man jailed for breaking partner's cheek in assault
'Extensive searches are ongoing' to find missing man
DoI made multiple failings when refusing FoI request
ManxSPCA donation box stolen
