Amazon.co.uk Review
Having proved himself a war hero in The Square Peg (1958), Norman Pitkin, Norman Wisdom's most famous incarnation of his riotous buffoon character, is here demobbed and, as usual for a Wisdom movie, dreaming of something better. Norman wants to follow in his father's footsteps and become a policeman, but being decidedly on the short side, has to settle for washing police cars. Of course it's not long before Norman is impersonating an officer of the law. As in The Square Peg, Wisdom also plays his nemesis here, the German General Schreiber, as well as the chief suspect in a series of jewel robberies which only Pitkin's chaotic antics can solve. In fact, as if emphasising that On the Beat really is The Square Peg with different uniforms, Terence Alexander, who later found fame as Charlie Hungerford in the long running BBC series Bergerac, also returns, albeit playing a different character. Wisdom film-regular David Lodge, previously seen co-starring in The Bulldog Breed (1960) is also on hand, though otherwise the supporting cast is less stellar than before. Solid if very predictable feel-good entertainment, Wisdom's particular brand of charming anarchy proves again his box-office formula could withstand endless variations. --Gary S Dalkin

Classic Wisdom October 23, 2002
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This was the first ever Norman Wisdom film I saw, and I fell in love with it that very first time. It's a HILARIOUS film, and is clever in so many ways. Not just a slapstick film, although there's plenty of it for the kiddies. The thing I like best about this film is the number of expressions Wisdom is able to pull off. I didn't know so many existed!! And they all make you fall on the ground in laughter. An absolute MUST SEE for any comedy fan, especially those who enjoy the American comic, Jerry Lewis.

I think this is an all time classic. Normans witty sense of humour is really funny and is well worth buying.
