Name: Just Wisdom
Genre: Documentary
Released: 1986-12-27
Duration: 57 min
Cast: Holly De Jong, Saul Reichlin, Norman Wisdom

An interesting video featuring Norman as himself in the 80s in various situations (onstage, trapped in a corridor of doors, With a biographer etc...) all of which leads to classic clips from his 50s/60s heyday.

The new material adds an interesting dimension to what is mostly a clip show giving a chance for him to fill in some of his life story, add gags and sing. Pure gold for the fan.

Sadly I don't see that this will ever make DVD now but if you can find it it's a great hour with one of the true greats.

The films don't appear on TV as they used/should do and that's a true tragedy, It's how I discovered him as a child as the TV showed so many great comedy films that now seen to be ignored apart from Talking Pictures Tv and the like.

Norman's films are all out there on DVD from classics to rarities, go on have some Wisdom in your life. A lot's on YouTube for those who don't want to invest.

(PS this also features a beer commercial and clips of the Sunday Night at the London Palladium show with Bruce Forsyth - a true classic -Which shows these two greats at there best and a clip from Going gently)

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
