Review of The Cast-Off (1959) by Matt D — 06 Apr 2008
A massive storm causes a huge surge of water to FLOOD THE THAMES BARRIER, AND WIPE OUT LONDON! [the East & South East is also wasted, but who cares, as they are NOT LONDON!).
Only Robert Carlyle's Mockney-Marine-Engineer / all-round-hero can save the day, along with his Canadian-wife-you're-sure-you've-seen-somewhere-else, plus his mad old Professor Dad.
Also starring...
Joanne Whalley as the Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
The-bloke-who-played-Poirot as The Deputy Prime Minister.
Nigel Planer as The Man From The Met Office Who Gets It Horribly Wrong.
Meh...
