The Bargee is a 1964 British comedy film

This movie changed my life. A right angled turn (90 degrees) in ninety seconds. I was eleven, 1964, my parents took me to (Bridlington, East Yorkshire) see the  The Bargee [PG] . My dad did seem quite exited to go.  I fell in love.  Something in the film, no idea what yet, as I am yet about to replay it, just blew me away.  My love [a deep desire/need for more] of The Bargee meant three days later I turned up for the afternoon performance, pretended to be 16 (I was a freaky big ) and the girl on the counter (also pretending to be 16) smiled and took my money.  I felt a huge adrenaline ( endorphin )  rush, walking confidently into the cinema to bluff my age. I loved it even more the second time around.  Heaven would have looked, smelt and tasted like being The Bargee . Hang on see my Ps. I have just replayed it and ... I'm hooked and blown away again. Old fashioned British comedy at its best. I can see why life on the water hooked -anchored even - me from an early age. Lambo P
