Ian Carmichael - Lucky Jim - Dixon gets his girl in this crazy finale

[Vot63]

Ian Carmichael playing brilliantly against type. A very underrated British actor, and one of England's most elegant gentlemen. Thanks for posting.

This may be the funniest and most agreeable comic novel of the 20th century. Like _The Importance of Being Earnest_ it is as consistently funny as anything one could want. A film cannot do it justice. The perfect comic timing, the vibrant parody, and the coherence of its vision can come through only in words.The movie is full of cinematic cliché and broad overacting. Good try, but get the book.

She's right. Sort of. Its laughing and smiling together on a train....

The ending in the novel is much funnier.

It has its charm, but why do films have to go so far away from the plot? The original ending was briliiant. I have always wanted to see this film because the book is just superb. Instead of being in a car, he's desperate to get there in a bus, which stops at all possible opportunities. Nothing against Ian Carmichael, a great British actor, and for me the archetype of Bertie Wooster.

Brilliant!!!!!!

R.I.P. Ian Carmichael.

He reminds me of Harold Lloyd with those glasses on!

Yes I'm sure that is the superb Terry Thomas.
