similar storyline to office space

Story of what can happen when hypnosis goes all wrong. Timid bank clerk henry sterling ends up on stage, gets hypnotized, and has no memory of flirting with angel, the hypnotist's assistant. Apparently, he was never brought out of the hypnosis. And now he doesn't even want to go to work. Pretty similar story to office space, from 1999. This one stars george cole, jon pertwee, veronica hurst. It's okay. The first twenty minutes are actually a bit annoying. All running around, no-one really listens to anyone. No likeable characters. The incompetent doctor, flitting about. But it calms down, and comes to a happy place. It's okay. An old fashioned farce. Nobody wakes up dead! Office space did a much better job with it. This story started as a play. The film directed by michael anderson... he was nominated for around the world in eighty days. Based on the play by vernon sylvaine.

"See a Doctor! See Two or Three Doctors!!"

A romping Technicolor farce vaguely indebted to Jeckyll & Hyde adapted by Vernon Sylvaine from his own West End hit of 1950, that basically extends to feature length the section in 'Laughter in Paradise' in which George Cole is forced to publicly make a fool of himself.A once-in-a-lifetime supporting cast ranges from Alan Badel to Richard Massingham (and two future Doctor Whos); and there are some quite naughty jokes like the provenance of the paper used to replace the banknotes (while what George Cole does to Joan Sims, in her film debut, would get him fired and ostracised today...)!
