n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

In the period when I was a really voracious reader of books, all Wodehouse's works were not only banned and removed from sale in shops and taken off the shelves in libraries, but they were piled into huge bonfires and burnt. Plum was regarded as a traitor and as far as I am aware, he has never been formally re-instated even when the true facts became known. Although I'm the sort of person who haunts bookshops and libraries, I've never ever seen a Wodehouse book, or even a reproduction of the cover art of a Wodehouse book, let alone have I actually held one in my hand. Needless to say, none of Wodehouse's movies have ever been aired on local TV, so I pounced on this Fox DVD and managed to smuggle it through Customs. I might have saved myself the trouble. There is nothing controversial in "Thank You, Jeeves", but it is mildly amusing – thanks more to the strenuous efforts of the players than anything much in the way of rolling-on-the-floor hilarity in the text itself. If this sort of Bowery Boys' slapstick (complete with Willie Best), is the best that Wodehouse has to offer, maybe it explains why all his books and movies are still shunned in my country, even though the ban itself has presumably been lifted.

I must point out to you at the onset that I have NEVER seen one of Jeeves & Wooster films nor have I ever read anything by P.G. Wodehouse. So I cannot compare this film to any of the films or stories--and I have no idea how close this film is to the actual characters. But, I do have some of the Fry & Laurie versions on my Netscape queue and might just try one or two of his novels and will update this review at a later date.This B-movie reminds me a lot of the Bulldog Drummond films, though instead of making the leading man a brave and macho hero, Wooster is still brave but a bit daft. This man is no action-hero--more a man looking for excitement and blundering into it. This made for a pleasant character--but one that is hard to love. However, his manservant Jeeves was terrific and I loved the very low-key performance that Arthur Treacher gave. He was sophisticated, proper and yet, oddly, surprisingly tough. And, despite being in the employ of Wooster, it seems that Jeeves was the smarter and more competent.The film begins with the upper-class twit, Wooster, lamenting that he'd bored and craves adventure. In true movie form, a plot drops right into his lap involving a woman on the run from a gang that is trying to steal top-secret plans. Unfortunately, Wooster thinks SHE is the spy and, for a while, does his best to help the gang. Ultimately, it's up to Jeeves to save the day. Along the way, they pick up some comic relief and the total package is quite trivial--but quite fun. Thanks to a breezy script and decent acting, it's well worth seeing....and a bit silly. My score of 7 is relative to other B-films...making it a bit better than average and worth seeing.

He only gets third billing (behind Arthur Treacher & Virginia Field), but this was effectively David Niven's first starring role and he's charmingly silly as P. G. Wodehouse's dunderheaded Bertie Wooster, master (in name only) to Jeeves, that most unflappable of valets. As an adaptation, it's more like a watered-down THE 39 STEPS than a true Wodehousian outing. And that's too bad since the interplay between Treacher & Niven isn't too far off the mark. Alas, the 'B' movie mystery tropes & forced comedy grow wearisome even at a brief 57 minutes. Next year's follow-up (STEP LIVELY, JEEVES) was even more off the mark, with no Bertie in sight and Jeeves (of all people!) forced to play the goof.

When muddleheaded Bertie Wooster - London playboy & man about town - gets himself into trouble, he can always rely on the inimitable Jeeves, his gentleman's gentleman, to extricate him from the plight. When Bertie becomes involved with a beautiful mystery woman, Jeeves must utilize brawn, not brain, to rescue him from a dangerous gang of international thieves. Hopefully, Wooster will once again be able to say, `THANK YOU, JEEVES!'Very loosely based on one of his novels, Sir P. G. Wodehouse's immortal characters come alive in this, the first of two Jeeves films produced by 20th Century Fox. At only 57 minutes long, the film wastes no time in getting into its funny business. Fans of the short stories & novels will notice that liberties were taken with the characters. Jeeves is less of the all-knowing automaton; in fact, he uses not his cerebral matter but a knowledge of fisticuffs to catch the villains. Bertie is still rather zany, but his (eventual) success with the fair sex has noticeably improved.Having played butlers so often, Arthur Treacher here has the plum role of his career. He is perfect as Jeeves: tall, with forbidding intellect - but not afraid to unbend and sing a rousing hunting song or swing a mean battle-ax. David Niven is a lot of fun as Wooster, vague & a bit befuddled, but loyal & brave in defending his lady love. She is played nicely by Virginia Field. Willie Best has some very funny moments as a stranded saxophonist who adds to the hilarity.
