VHS Movie Reviews of Bless Me, Father - Collector's Set 2 [VHS]

Movie Review: "A unique jewel of comedy for everyone's library"
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Not Only Good Comedy to Collect but Re-View Again & Again
Summary: 5 Stars

Here in the 225 minutes on three videos are my three favorites: Burial at Sea, Beddings and Weddings and Fire and Brimstone.

Lowe as the irreplaceable Duddleswell and Abineri as curate Boyd and Daye as Mrs. Pring as such a treat. They are such well done characters that one wants to be around them.

I get equally into it with each re-viewing. Anyone who appreciates really good comedy will be treated to what is a special series, documenting good natured life at its best at St. Judes, 1951.

Movie Review: Bless me Father is worth purchasing for good entertainment.
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary of Bless Me, Father - Collector's Set 2 [VHS]

Set in the small suburban London parish of St. Jude in the 1950s, Bless Me, Father revolves around the blustery veteran priest, Father Duddleswell (Arthur Lowe); his inexperienced young curate, Father Boyd (Daniel Abineri); and their comically unflappable housekeeper, Mrs. Pring (Gabrielle Daye). While Neil bumbles earnestly through new professional situations such as counseling couples with marital problems or dinner with an eccentric and wealthy parishioner, Father Duddleswell handles the duties of priesthood with patient aplomb and an amusing eye on the parish coffers' bottom line. The nine episodes of this second collector's set come largely from the second season and the start of the third, covering amusing topics ranging from practical jokes in the priests' residence and unfinished weddings to a tricky burial at sea--what should they do if the deceased turns out to be a Protestant? While some may find the pace a little slow or the humor quaint, others will find it a program to enjoy with the whole family. --Tara Chace
