Rising Damp: The Movie

Hailed as one of Britain’s funniest TV series ever, Rising Damp reaches new heights of hilarity in this laugh-filled, full-length feature film, based on the BAFTA® Award-winning series. Leonard Rossiter (Pink Panther films) reprises his role as Rupert Rigsby, the meddling, lecherous landlord for the most ridiculous bunch of social misfits ever collected under one roof. Meet Miss Jones (Frances de la Tour, The History Boys, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), for whom the hope of romance springs eternal; Philip, the self-proclaimed son of an African tribal chief; and Seymour (Denholm Elliott, A Room with a View, A Murder of Quality), an oily con man who rivals Rigsby for Miss Jones’s affections. A comic concoction of wildly funny insults, double entendres and silly slapstick that will tickle your funny bone!
