On the Fiddle on Talking Pictures TV Starring: Sean Connery and Alfred Lynch, directed by: Cyril Frankel. Sean Connery took a lead role in this star-studded film adaptation of R.F. Delderfield’s story of a couple of lovable service dodgers who become accidental heroes. Playing opposite Alfred Lynch, Connery’s screen presence is undeniable, his obvious charisma making him the focus of almost every scene in which he features – something that did not escape Broccoli and Saltzman’s notice when they were looking for someone to play a certain Commander Bond. Alfred Lynch also gives a highly watchable performance as wide boy Horace Pope. The film features cameo roles by comedy stalwarts Cecil Parker, Stanley Holloway, Eric Barker, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Kathleen Harrison, John le Mesurier, Graham Stark, Bill Owen, Barbara Windsor and Jack Smethurst, On the Fiddle displays its pedigree clearly and is a perfect example of the sort of film they just don’t make any more.
