      martin a An outstanding film about a Dame and her Tenants who decide to rob furs to give the money to orphanages! The cast really is outstanding, every scene is a delight, it is almost a carry-on. Terry Thomas is outstanding as is Search Athene Seyler as the dotty Dame, and Hattie Jacques as the feminist and Elspeth Duxbury is a delight as the nervous wreck! Kenneth Williams makes a cameo, which is fantastic. There are also some other great cameos. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member for the most part the brit film is fun and funny Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A Terry-Thomas classic. At Netflix. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member delightful British black comedy Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member BRILLIANT cast: Hattie Jacques, Kenneth Williams, Terry-Thomas, and MANY more.
