The heavy-handed early films of the Goons do not live up to the radio series. But, what the heck, here they are on screen in two historically interesting and entertaining films. The elusive short film "Let's Go Crazy" is amusing and I was thrilled to at long last find a video copy. Favourite line. When the waitress asks Sellers (in one of several roles in the film), "What would you say to a little fish", Sellers replies, "I would say 'hello little fish'.""Penny Points to Paradise" could have been much better with a funnier script, more ad libs and the inventive direction of, say, a Richard Lester, a Charles Chrichton or a Basil Dearden. Never mind, it's wondeful to see the Goons on screen in their early days and it is amusing.
