The Girl in the Picture

I am just watching this movie on the Talking Pictures TV channel, I was in the mood for a comedy and thought I would give it a go.

The character of Alan is a right pillock in his attitude to his girlfriend, and I am speaking from experience in this observation.

He doesn't realise just how lucky he is that any self respecting woman, actually recognised he even existed. He is a nice enough young bloke in his way, but with scarcely much of personality to speak of.

This is only the second film I have seen John Gordon Sinclair in, the other was Gregory's Girl. His characterisation of Alan in this film is in mind,so similar to that of Gregory. That they could very well be the same person.

It's nice to see Gregor Fisher in an actual film as the only other stuff, I have seen him in was made for the television. Which was as Rab C. Nesbit, Para Handy, and as the Baldy Man in the Hamlet cigar TV adverts.
