Reply With QuoteWas that the one where a couple inherit a run down old cinema and with it Peter Sellers and Margaret Rutherford ? It was really funny as I remember it !
PS: Just checked on Amazon - it is the film I thought it was - but the price they are asking is expensive £49.99p !

It is a real shame that this film does not get the credit it deserves.

Whilst Margaret and Peter are getting all the plaudits for their performances, don't forget to watch out for Bernard Miles as Old Tom. It's an understated performance and, just like Peter, he's playing someone considerably older than he was at the time.

Watch out for Liz Frazer briefly appearing as one of the cinema's patrons.

Thank you - I will check that out ! Originally Posted by RogerThornhill

I will be patient and see if it turns up cheaper somewhere else - or maybe find a second hand copy.Last edited by Nimuae; 23-04-12 at 10:21 PM.

A lovely film! I got mine for $5 on a dvd stall. It's individually wrapped but it does say it's part of the Peter Sellers collection. (A bootleg probably)!
