Vice Versa Summary
Director: Peter Ustinov
Genres: Comedy, Fantasy
Rating:
Written and directed by Peter_Ustinov, Vice_Versa is a one-joke fantasy comedy which manages to hold up almost to the very end. Anthony_Newley plays the funloving son of stuffy stockbroker Roger_Livesy. Father and son come into possession of a magic stone, and place a wish upon it. The result: Newley inherits Livesy's brain and personality, and vice versa. The best moments involve the suddenly matured Newley's besting of feet-of-clay schoolmaster James_Robertson_Justice. Not successful enough to spawn a cycle in 1947, Vice_Versa is nonetheless an intriguing precursor of the brief spate of identity-switch comedies of the late 1980s--one of which was also titled Vice_Versa.
