"A cynical, raucous and really funny farce!"-Pauline Kael The New Yorker
Peter Sellers won his only British Academy Award for his career-making performance as Socialist shop steward Fred Kite in this brilliant class-struggle comedy. Ian Carmichael (Heaven's Above!) co-stars as naive Oxford graduate Stanley Windrush, who is hired as a common worker at his wealthy uncle's missile factory and quickly becomes a pawn in the battle between management and Mr. Kite’s labor union. But can both sides stop a complete nitwit from single-handedly destroying the economy while becoming the symbol of integrity for an entire nation?
Terry-Thomas (Carlton-Browne Of the F.O.), Dennis Price (Kind Hearts and Coronets) and Richard Attenborough (Jurassic Park) co-star in this classic black comedy co-written, produced and directed by the legendary Boulting Brothers (A Privates Progress, Lucky Jim) that is still considered to be one of the most subversive satires in British film history as well as the movie that made Peter Sellers an international star.
