And the Same to You is a curious little comedy from 1960 that centers on Dickie Dreadnought, a boxer trying to hide his career from his well-meaning but rather uptight uncle, Reverend Sydney Mullet. The film has this delightful absurdity, as Dickie and his promoter Wally Burton become these faux clergymen, and it's just a riot watching them navigate the ridiculousness of their double lives. The pacing is spot-on, keeping the humor brisk without overstaying its welcome. The performances are surprisingly charming, with both leads playing off each other well. It captures that quintessential British comedy vibe, blending slapstick with some more clever moments. Not exactly a classic, but it has a certain quirky charm that might appeal to those who appreciate offbeat gems.
This film isn't the most widely known, which adds to its allure for collectors. It has seen limited releases, mostly on VHS and a few DVD compilations, making any original prints somewhat of a rare find. Collectors of British comedies from the era often seek it out for its unique blend of humor and character-driven story. Its scarcity and niche appeal certainly pique interest among those who love to unearth lesser-known comedic gems.
