Up in the World is a 1956 black and white comedy film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring Norman Wisdom, Maureen Swanson and Jerry Desmonde.

He quickly encounters young Sir Reginald, an obnoxious teenager who has an extremely over-protective mother.

Reginald demands that Norman, working as a window cleaner, takes him to London to see a magic show.

He tortures him by tickling his feet with a feather, whilst Norman is trapped in an upstairs window frame, and demands that they go that evening... which means he can't take Jeannie to the dance.

Heading back to Banderville Hall a series of mishaps ends with him looking like a paratrooper and enters the estate with an army group searching for the escapee.

If there's still any doubt that this gump-suited comic isn't top of the ladder of Britain's funny men, this slapstick caper should prove the point once and for all.
