Mr. H Is Late
Mr H is late was a 1988 made for TV short film written and directed by Eric Sykes, notable for being entirely without dialogue [1][2]. Sykes leads an all-star cast of British comedy actors as an undertaker whose team has to move a coffin containing the deceased 'Mr H' from a 26th floor Tower block flat to a church. Comic events follow as the undertakers battle with the building's small, unreliable lift and narrow stairs.
