When Lily (Billie Whitelaw), a maid at Dame Beatrice's (Athene Seyler) boarding house, steals a mink coat to give to Beatrice, the other residents of the house organize to return the coat and save Lily from arrest. However, the excitement is a great change from their boring lives, and they decide to start stealing coats for charity purposes. Maj. Rayne (Terry-Thomas) leads the otherwise female group of unlikely thieves -- Nanette (Hattie Jacques), Pinkie (Elspeth Duxbury) and Beatrice.

Saw this with my father, in a theater in Manhasset's "Miracle Mile", in 1960. Decided on the spot that I loved British Comedy better than American Comedy and have never looked back. Hattie Jacques (better known for some Carry On films) was beyond hysterical. Billie Whitelaw was trying her hand at a mainstream film after a distinguished career collaborating with Samuel Beckett and was just wonderful in a straight role. One of the great unsung British Comedies of all time.

Whimsical British comedy comedy of errors, misunderstandings and off-balance characters with a great cast (Terry Thomas, the wonderful Athene Seyler). One of the funniest moments is probably Terry-Thomas skulking out of the dockside shadows to The Third Man theme.
