Must have been the first movie I ever saw when my parents took me out to the pictures in Rotterdam city ....I was about 10 or 11 then - this is quite a blow to view it again now I'm 64 ... ! Thanks for uploading

Is that the diminutive child star, Wee Ronnie Corbett, at 6.44, in what must be his first film role? No doubt after the success of 'Whisky' MacKenzie was pressured to write a sequel...hmm? I haven't seen this before - and am resolved to watch it to the end - though my first reaction is that, in spite of a bunch of good actors, it will fall short of the benchmark set by its predecessor.
