Dave and Thomas Jones are two brothers from deepest Wales. Naive and likeable, the Jones brothers have no time for the busy, crowded life of the city, but all that is about to change. After winning a competition in the weekly echo newspaper, the brothers are lured towards the bright lights of London in the hope of collecting their monetary prize... (StudioCanal)

It's a pity that the film spends so much time on the least interesting subplot involving a London con artist (incidentally, Moira Lister may have been Adina Mandl's twin, even her voice is almost identical) and not on the escapades of the other brother, a homeless harpist and of course the wonderfully clueless Alec Guinness, who "likes vegetables more than people" and no one can blame him. But it's still an excellent comedy, mostly lighthearted, with some absolutely great moments (boarding the underground) and a fireworks display of all sorts of garrulous Welshisms.
