Mr. Drake's Duck

About This Movie

Mr. Drake's Duck is a quirky blend of comedy and science fiction, crafted by Val Guest. The film weaves a delightful tale that starts on the tranquil Sussex farm where Mr. Drake and his wife lead a simple life. The atmosphere shifts dramatically when that radioactive egg rolls into play—an oddball premise that definitely stands out. You get this nice balance of lighthearted humor mixed with absurdity as government agents descend upon the farm, creating a frantic yet charming chaos. The practical effects, especially on the duck, are quite amusing and add a certain charm. Performances are solid, with a touch of British wit throughout, capturing that post-war vibe perfectly. It’s one of those films that you can’t help but remember for its bizarre yet entertaining narrative.
