Movie unseen for 50 years
A rare Norman Wisdom film unseen for more than 50 years is being released on DVD for the first time - and his biographer insists it is screened on the Isle of Man.
'There Was a Crooked Man' will be put out in the UK by Network Distributing from 8 May this year.
It features the comedy legend Manx resident star as a naive explosives expert, who finds himself involved with a criminal gang after uncovering nefarious business deals.
The film was one of two that he made independently - co-starring Alfred Marks and Susannah York.
Richard Dacre wrote '‘Trouble In Store – Norman Wisdom, a career in comedy’ - in which he tells the story of Norman's life - he explains why the film needs to be seen by the Manx people:
Lack of opportunity to study science 'could be impacting future doctors'
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
