A truly wonderful film, highly recommended.
Starring Terry-Thomas, as one of several blackmail victims of the ever urbane Dennis Price, it marks one of a number of successful collaborations between the young Peter Sellers and himself. Sellers is also brilliant, as another victim, no doubt an early forerunner of the infamous Inspector Clouseau. The film also stars Peggy Mount, Joan Sims and Shirley Eaton.
The whole film is rather silly, no part more so than the ending, but is very entertaining and very funny as the bungling victims try to kill either themselves or their tormentor, each with an equal lack of success.
