Helter Skelter

This film is clearly a spoof of radio stars of the era.Many of the actual stars appear sending themselves up.If you look at the full cast list you will see the large number of uncredited cameos.Carroll Marsh plays a rich woman who falls in love with radio detective David Tomlinson,but gets a bout of hiccups.All sorts of tricks are used to try and cure her.All are truly crazy.Jimmy Edwards plays a Doctor and Harry Secombe his nurse when they Carol a silent film.It does make you wonder if Spike Milligan was inspired by this film since so much of the humour of this very funny film bears a great similarity to the Goons.I Also there is Richard Hearne in a variety of guises.There are just so many laugh out loud moments.
