Plot
In the early 1970's comedic gem 'White Cargo', David Jason, known notably for his role in 'The Odd Job', delivers a remarkable performance as the lead character, Albert, a hapless civil servant often lost in his daydreams of being a suave, Bond-esque secret agent. His mundane world is turned upside down when he unwittingly stumbles upon a sinister plot involving the smuggling of young women to the Middle East, orchestrated by formidable villains, including a memorably menacing Dave Prowse in a pre-Darth Vader role.
Albert's life takes on a thrilling twist, his daydreams start to eerily mirror reality, where he finds himself in the company of the captivating Imogen Hassall. Despite his clumsy demeanor, he embarks on a daring adventure, his actions dictated more by fortunate accidents than calculated strategies. His bumbling exploits lead him on a path of unexpected heroism, where he attempts to thwart the dastardly plans of the criminals and save the day.
'White Cargo' is a low-budget comedy that packs a punch with its engaging narrative, memorable performances, and a delightful blend of humor and adventure. It offers viewers a peek into Albert's imaginatively chaotic world where an everyday civil servant's dreams and reality comically entangle, resulting in unexpected heroism.
