The Unforgettable Sid James - Comedy Icon

A feature-length documentary looking at stage, screen, and radio star Sid James, who had one of the most recognizable faces in Britain, with a laugh that was legendary. Nearly 50 years after his death, his family, friends, co-stars, and fans gather to celebrate the career of Britain's most lovable rogue. Sid is best known for his role as the champion of the Carry On films, but he appeared in more than 100 films and dozens of TV shows, spanning a professional career of three decades. His life was as colorful off-screen as it was on.

Sid James was cast as a cheeky cockney spiv opposite Tony Hancock on radio and TV, and by the 1960s, he was probably most famous as the weather-beaten lothario of the Carry On movies. Sid's work ethic contributed to two heart attacks, with the second claiming his life in 1976 while he was performing on stage at the Sunderland Empire.

This documentary includes archive film unseen in Britain for 50 years and emotional interviews with those who knew Sid James best.
