An above-average British comedy of its time, Go For A Take runs along the lines of a Norman Wisdom romp, giving the rubber-faced Reg Varney the opportunity to run amok through a film studio as a submarine officer, vampire victim, knight, gunman, prisoner, waiter, Tarzan and a Viking warrior as two gamblers, Wilf and Jack (Varney and Norman Rossington) on the run take refuge in a film studio where they are mistaken for actors.
It makes for clean and pleasant comedy, although the apparent budget and shooting restrictions imposed on the film forces its star from time to time into some desperate mugging that only his fans and younger children will find funny.
Released in some markets as Double Take.
