Welcome Back, Norman (1979)

A curious little short film about a rather inept man who returns home... and makes an incredible mess out of getting out of the airport car park! Norman (Douglas P. MacIntosh), presumably a travelling businessman, is a bit of a reverse Midas. When he reaches his car he finds the other cars are parked too close so he has to squeeze in with much discomfort. Oh no, he has left his brief case on top of his car, lets hope he doesn't run over it...

There isn't much to this film but it a little bit of fun. The bumbling ineptness of Norman resembles the hapless Captain Mainwaring. Most of the fun is from the sheer oddness of this little film, the fact it exists and quite why it was made?
