Joe and Ellen Frisby have a small problem at their bakery, rats, and when they are unable to get hold of their usual pest controllers, they call on Mr Alfred Love for help, Mr Love has an unconventional method of dealing with the rats.
What an unusual, unconventional, but thoroughly enjoyable film this is. Probably a B Movie, so don't go expecting huge production values, but do expect a bit of drama, and a couple of laughs.
A plot you would think was overly frivolous, or perhaps better suited to Wallace and Gromit, but it really does work. Lots of unexpected moments, twists and turns, it's almost hard to classify it, as it really does cross a few genres.
I just loved the way the camera focused on the killer loaf. Who'd have thought bread could be so dangerous. I can only imagine the puns that have been associated with this film over the years.
Some very nice performances throughout, Keen, Hylton, Kelly, Jackson all were great.
9p for a loaf of bread, wow times have really changed, I think I paid £2.25 for a loaf about an hour ago, as for the cost of potassium cyanide, you can only imagine.
8/10.
