Watch Department Store For Free

People are voting emotionally.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

A better class quota quickie – this was another Real Art production from Julius Hagen at Twickenham, cheaply made of course but entertaining notwithstanding. The censors certificate at the start states the title is Department Stores so maybe it was a large operation, and the credits hail An All Star Cast - although there are many British minor film stalwarts in here it's rather a hopeful credit. But as the lead man Sebastian Shaw later went on to appear in Return Of The Jedi maybe the farce stayed with him!As separate favours two people start on the same day at a dysfunctional department store: one the well-bred heir to the store the other a light-fingered crook. Garry Marsh plays the thieving tripe-talking manager who gets the two the wrong way round thereby greasing up to the crook and giving the owners' son a hard time. The film concerns the farcical comedy of errors with many deceptions and a robbery. The moral to me is that as the baddies couldn't recognise obvious good breeding from one of their own low kind they deserved all their luck – Class should tell after all, shouldn't it? From my experience all the Little Hitler's I've ever known always knew who to toady to and who to spurn from blind instinct. There's time for a sprinkling of romance, even smart-ass cynicism and it's fascinating to watch pan out, and well worth the 67 minute running time of a regrettably grotty print.

Sebastian Shaw plays the heir to the Department Store,sent to learn the business from the ground up.Jack Melford with a similar sounding name ,is confused by the crooked store manager,played by Garry Marsh,for Shaw.So Shaw gets the sacked porters job and Melford gets the private office and secretary.Also to be seen at the start of her career is Geraldine Fitzgerald.The confusion continues to the end when in a rather farcical ending Melford and his accomplice are nabbed after trying to break into the store safe deposit boxes.The film hardly taxes the imagination but is reasonably entertaining.Rather what you would expect from Twickenham Studios,the experts par excellence at making quota quickies.
