VHS Movie Reviews of Fawlty Towers, Vol. 1 - Hotel Inspectors/Germans/A Touch Of Class

Movie Review: How did they ever win the war?
Summary: 5 Stars

This volume of "Fawlty Towers" contains three of the best episodes, and it is the one tape out of the four-tape collection that I play the most. "Hotel Inspectors" shows Basil at his most fawning, his most insincere. Ditto for "A Touch Of Class". But the real show-stealer is "Germans", perhaps the single most funny half-hour in sitcom history. Most people speak about the famous scene where Basil goose-steps around his German patrons, after he's repeatedly admonished the help not to mention the war. But everything in this episode is pure comic genius: Basil's griping with Sybil and the orderlies at the hospital; the exasperating attempts at hanging up the moose's head; and the Major's senile non-sequitors are hilarious. As the Germans ponder how the British ever won the war, the obvious answer is: If every English soldier was John Cleese, the Third Reich would have laughed to death.
