Over The Garden Wall

Film Description

This has the funniest fictional husband and wife team to grace a British screen and inspired Les Dawson’s famous female impersonation. In this riotous comedy they plan to give their daughter and new American son-in-law a right Northern Welcome.

The story of the Mancunian Film Company began in 1927 when John E. Blakeley made his first series of ‘singalong silents.’ His dream of opening a film studio in Manchester became a reality in 1947 when he fulfilled his ambition of “Northern films for Northern people.”

Jimmy James is often hailed as the ‘comedian’s comedian.’ He developed one of the funniest stage routines in variety history and his first film for Mancunian was Over the Garden Wall with Norman Evans playing his wife! Evans was an inspiration to comedians such as Les Dawson and became a big star in the States.
