Terry Thomas was a great actor I used to love watching his films on tv in the 60's.

Terry-Thomas, Peggy Mount, Peter Sellers, Dennis Price, Shirley Eaton, Joan Sims, Georgina Cookson et al….it doesn't get any better than that.
British comedy at its best. I love Peggy Mount.
Thanks for posting this! Love Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers! Never saw this one, it was great!
Hilarious!
This is hysterical! Complainers go elsewhere pls.
£10,000 for a quarter of a hour!
Superb, quality film, Peter sellers, Terry Thomas et al , they just don't make wonderful films like this anymore .
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?…" Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Although great humor has always been around, it's always been rare, compared to the cheap slapstick stuff, but the British have always produced the best, in every era, including the most recent one.
Peter Sellers was a genius, i'm Scottish and in this his Scots impersonation is 100% spot on. Sellers could impersonate anyone perfectly. Cheers!
Some excellent British talent in this one. Peggy Mount used to scare me to death when I was a small boy 🙂
A good solid comedy. Awarded a 7/10 by me. 17 Nov 2021
So funny. It was fun to laugh.

I adore Peter Sellers and Terry-Thomas! Thank you very much, doubledowndoubletalk, for uploading this rare comedy film featuring two of my favourite British actors – I truly enjoyed it. There are no superb actors or films like this today, unfortunately – but I am so grateful that films like this are in the archives for us to see and enjoy. 🎥
What kind of car is that???
Not a bad film. Terry Thomas was the highlight, funniest line.. "My name's Lord Mayley and this is Miss Right" "Oh, Congratulations" "No, no, that's her name".
A classic of British humor. The more you get into the film, the funnier it gets.
Description: A madcap comedy of errors.
This was delightful.
Sat my kids down to watch this…just one more thing, do you mean i get all this for such a small premium? (or words similar)
A good comedy they don’t make films like this now
A great film good actors very funny
Dennis Price was also appeared alongside Sellers in The Magic Christian, another offbeat comedy
One of my favorite British comedies. With 2 of my favorite comedians. Sellers and Terry-Thomas. Thanks for posting this now obscure film thats underated.
38:51 (lol) not a bad film at all. dennis price was the perfect (only?) casting choice as an actor who could "out cad" terry thomas (except maybe george saunders); joan sims was funnier here as the terrified daughter than she was as sid james' wife/wives in all the carry on films years later; peter sellers is in good form and shirley eaton's part is like a play on the real life "scandal" that surrounded lizabeth scott a few years previously. a lookalike too.
So many talented British comic actors wasted in a really lame comedy. Pity.
ENJOYABLE ……JOAN SIMS ..THE DAUGHTER WAS FUNNY !!!!!!
