Midweek Mention... The Bulldog Breed

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where today we're setting our sights on a classic piece of British cinema, The Bulldog Breed. Released in 1960, this film is a delightful mix of comedy, romance, and a dash of patriotism, embodying the charm and wit of early British films.

The Bulldog Breed stars the iconic Norman Wisdom, known for his slapstick humor and impeccable comedic timing, as Norman Puckle. After being rejected by the love of his life for not being adventurous enough, Puckle joins the Royal Navy, where his misadventures begin. What follows is a series of hilarious and often absurd events that lead Norman from being a hopeless romantic to an unlikely hero.

Our protagonist, Norman Puckle, finds himself in a whirlwind of naval training mishaps, including a memorable scene involving a rocket and an unintended trip to space. Yes, you heard that right – space! The film cleverly combines everyday situational comedy with the fantastical, making it a unique watch even by today's standards.

The Bulldog Breed is a showcase of Norman Wisdom's comedic genius. The film is packed with laugh-out-loud moments, showcasing Wisdom's physical comedy and endearing character work. It's a light-hearted look at naval life and British stoicism, with a message about perseverance and self-belief at its core.

So, whether you're a long-time fan of Norman Wisdom or new to his work, The Bulldog Breed offers a charming, laugh-filled voyage back to the golden age of British comedy. Reegs especially enjoyed this one!
