Synopsis

THE ORIGINAL AND FUNNIEST... NEVER SHOWN ON BRITISH TV... ...HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A HORSE TALK? ...OR SEEN A DOG SHRINK? ...A TELEPHONE SNEEZE?...NO, THEN LOOK ON!
"Smile, you're on Candid Camera." In this 90 minutes of American Candid Camera, our Sheila Burnett aided and abetted by DOLLY PARTON and dubious American cohorts, provide us with some of the funniest footage yet to be seen on British TV. Would you carry DOLLY PARTON round and round a parking lot, whilst the wife were [sic] watching? And if a horse gave you a hot tip on the 4.30, would you not find it a little incredulous? Not it seems, if you are on Candid Camera. Anymore than if the man you are sitting next to you continually splashed you with his grapefruit juice, or the secretary that you were about to interview, suddenly lost her skirt. Nor, if you: were stopped in the street and examined for dirt under your finger nails, had your hair cut by a singing barber, were confronted by a woman with a moustache; had your own shoes sold, whilst trying on a new pair; had been audience to an audition whilst only the doorman; had been ten-pin bowling with a bouncing ball; had been recipient of the spray of a sneeze over the telephone; had been performed a tap dance, when you wanted money; had been showered with water by a typewriter or had been asked to fill up a car with petrol, when it had no tank. Perhaps you would have had your doubts, if the poodle you were holding shrank from being a standard to a toy, in a matter of seconds; or had seen a policeman dancing to 'Let's Twist Again', whilst directing traffic. Or even if a mail-box, had not only walked, but talked.. But this is Candid Camera. There are also some outstanding performances by children, proving that they can handle the situation better than adults; and a scene that shows that even Candid Camera can be caught by Candid Camera. And have you ever stopped to think just how silly one really looks when playing pin-ball? Enjoy this and much more.. on candid Candid Camera.
