Two men, appalled at the dreadfulness of Austerity Britain, decide to commit suicide.

This comedy short was commissioned by the COI to cheer folk up, but ended up being attacked in Parliament for having the opposite effect. Starring the king of public information film comedy Richard Massingham, this is an amusing litany of all the petty restrictions and disappointments that plagued post-war Britain. The film is blessed by the lugubrious performances of the two leads, and by Edward Williams' score.
