Killing Dad (1989)
Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 93m
Director: Michael Austin
Cast: Denholm Elliott, Julie Walters, Richard E. Grant
Synopsis:
A young and unsuccessful hair tonic salesman is sent to Southend by his mother to bring her long errant husband home.
Review:
Overlong and prodigiously unfunny black comedy with an antihero made up to look like Murray Melvin. Why he should wish to go so far as to kill his pater, given that the rest of his behaviour is subdued to say the least, is never explained.
