Audience Member After seeing the remake with Billy Bob (wasn't impressed), I adored the original. I really love some of the lessons in this film, as I realized a lot of these techniques have been used on me, comedically or not. Especially when they are working on the lesson of how to take the wind out of someone's sails by directing all the attention to your own victimization. Really brilliant time capsule which can be used as an effective critique of modern culture as well. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite of the many superb Ealing comedies. From Gloatbridge the accountant, to Dunstan and Dudley car salesman par Excellance. The magnificent 1924 swiftmobile. Every scene a classic. Alastair Sim, Terry-Thomas and Ian Carmichael at their best. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Arguably the greatest comedy of all time.

The cast is filled with some of the better performers of the time with the always very good Alastair Sim as the essentially the headmaster of this school for cheats, the perfectly cast rival Terry-Thomas, with the ideally good Ian Carmichael in the lead role. Memorable scenes involve the now classic wreck of a car sold by some dodgy dealers, and the "hard cheese old boy" tennis sequences. Anyone fond of classic comedy should without doubt give this a look. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Lighthearted fun that is now very dated. Thomas is at his cad like best and Sim never lets us down but they are still not enough to keep me interested. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
