"In truth, you're all cards in a game I control, performers obediently playing a role," says Simon Callow as the Almighty in this all-verse British film by Johnny Daukes. And so it turns out as a young man stands naked in the car park of a hotel where he is due to attend a conference titled "Win Only Win".
Unfortunately it doesn't take long for the verse to pall and the story to disappear. Nothing works properly and Callow, Harry Enfield, Iain Robertson and Celia Imrie go down with the ship as the conference progresses. Whoever first believed this film was a good idea must, I'm afraid, be severely spoken to - preferably not in verse.
