Worm's Eye View is a 1951 British Technicolor comedy film directed by Jack Raymond and starring Ronald Shiner and Diana Dors.[2] Based on the 1945 play of the same name by R.F. Delderfield, it was produced by Henry Halsted and Byron Films.
The film is set in a family home during World War II. Their bitter landlady is not pleased by five fighters from the Royal Air Force who are staying there and she re-directs unjustly her frustrations against the family. Part of the film appears in the 1948 Rise and Shiner.[3]
Filming took place at Hammersmith in late 1950.[4] [5]
Worm's Eye View was the sixth most popular film at the British box office in 1951.[6] [7]
TV Guide wrote, "some mild amusement is to be found here, particularly in the dialogue, though all in all this is nothing special. British filmgoers thought otherwise, though, making both the film and Shiner big successes."[8]
