Is there such a film as Rhubarb?

Question

The only word that is said through out the film is Rhubarb

Answer 1

yes, it was by 70's commidian, "eric sykes"

It comes from a technique, used by film extras, who had to appear talking, but coulnt actually make noise,as the sound, recording the main actors, in the foreground, would pick it up.
(even on corrie, now, the extras in the rovers, dont actually speak, audiably). To get the lips look like they are talking, randomly, you just mouth, rhubarb, over and over.

Answer 2

The film is called Rhubarb rhubarb, by Erik Sykes

"A film about golf and the only words are 'rhubarb'. When the police inspector tries to fix a game (with the help of constable Jimmy Edwards on his bicycle) he finds that the local vicar has a little help on his side. Also features Sykes trying to get a coffin to the church on time. Anything could happen."
