Nice film about three prisoners who commit a robbery using the prison as an alibi. Entertaining developments, but it takes a while before the film really gets going. Also, the film certainly should not have been longer. Peter Sellers holds back, compared to a number of other comedies with him.

Two Way Stretch is a comedy that clearly comes from another time. Two Way Stretch belongs to a series of British comedies that make fun of themes that play a role in the working class. In Two Way Stretch a simple story is told that is full of poisonous humor and sarcastic quips about the system and the establishment. For the worker (in this film that is the prisoner) it is an entertaining activity to outsmart both.

The film is set in a prison and focuses on three prisoners, of which Peter Sellers is the main one. It is quite enjoyable. The comedy itself suffers from a rather casual and simple story but nevertheless offers mild entertainment. The film offers old-fashioned charming humor with amusing dialogues. All very innocent. A fine film for when you don't want it too difficult and are looking for innocent and easily digestible entertainment.
