Mr. H Is Late

About This Movie

So, 'Mr. H Is Late' is this quirky little comedy from Eric Sykes that really captures the chaos of an everyday situation spiraling out of control. The premise is pretty straightforward—an undertaker has to get a coffin from a home on the 26th floor down to the church. But the way they handle the physical comedy is just delightful, with narrow stairs and a rickety lift adding layers of absurdity. The pacing is a bit frantic, which works perfectly for the escalating mishaps. Performances are charmingly chaotic, with the cast really leaning into their roles. There’s this almost surreal atmosphere that emerges as the characters stumble through their task. It's distinctive for its humor rooted in slapstick rather than dialogue, making it a memorable watch for collectors of offbeat cinema.
