(1972–1985), which follows the staff of the men's and women's clothing departments of the London Grace Brothers department store. The story is an adaptation of the successful stage version of the show, which played at Winter Gardens, Blackpool. The film was directed by Bob Kellett and the screenplay was by series creators and writers David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd. The film also featured the performers from the television series, including Mollie Sugden, John Inman, Frank Thornton, Trevor Bannister, Arthur Brough, Wendy Richard, and Nicholas Smith. SummaryAs Grace Brothers is being redecorated, the management sends the staff on a paid holiday to the resort of Costa Plonka, in Spain. After various misfortunes, they narrowly survive a gunfight between the revolutionaries and government troops. They are saved by a group of tanks that arrive on the scene; these prove to have been commandeered by Young Mr Grace, who wanted to visit his beleaguered underlings, but could not find a taxi. Cast
ReceptionIn a contemporary review, John Pym of the Monthly Film Bulletin gave the film a negative review, stating that "The humour consists mainly of withering selection of patent British puns; an inflatable brassiere, some let's-insult-the-Germans jokes and a rickey thunder-box which bolts from the outside are thrown in for good measure."[1] In a retrospective review, DVD Verdict's Michael Stailey as a film that is "guilty of violating almost every law of comedy and film."[2] The film is widely considered to be lacking in originality, plot, and focus. At present, the film holds a 58% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the cutoff for a positive rating is 59%.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{cite journal|journal=Monthly Film Bulletin|title=Are You Being Served?|last=Pym|first=John|volume=44|issue=516|year=1977|publisher=British Film Institute|location=London}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/areyoubeingserved.php |title=DVD Verdict Review - Are You Being Served?
