Review :

Pleasant and agreeable

'Alive & Kicking' is a surprisingly engaging and likable film that largely escapes the pitfalls within the film's narrative

The plot line - three elderly ladies escape from an old people's home - to an isolated Irish village - could potentially lead to silliness and patronising treatment of the central trio. And it threatens to be that in the early scenes of their escape which are mildly enjoyable but slightly inane.

But once the film settles in Ireland, it becomes a surprisingly deft and endearing film. Not only does it create good characterisations of the three elderly ladies, but characters like MacDonagh are charmingly handled and acted (by Stanley Holloway.

The film is so pleasant that even when MacDonagh's lawyer appears to end the trio's adventure, he is shown to be someone just doing his job and not painted as the villain as one expects.

'Alive and Kicking' is no classic but it's agreeable entertainment that gives Sybil Thorndike, Kathleen Harrison and Estelle Winwood all moments to shine, plus a very early appearance by Richard Harris.
