Rating:  - Not one of my favorites
While the premise held promise, this movie just didn't hang together very well. Lionel Jeffries's part was too thin for him to get his teeth in the way he did in Two Way Stretch. Peter Sellers seemed half hearted at times in this one as well. The business where the gang suspects that there is a mole in the organization goes nowhere. Nanette Newman's part was too thin as well especially since she was the mole. It has a lot of fine bits and funny gags, but too many very fine actors in this movie ... Read More

With the late great legendary comedian Peter Sellers receiving top billing, I patiently endured three quarters of WRONG ARM OF THE LAW.

It appears that he is passing the time until "Dr. Strangelove came his way. That said, Sellers fans who are familiar with his greater work will be entertained by this lesser endeavor.
Rating:  - Sparkling English Comedy
"The Wrong Arm of the Law" is one of the last British comedies from a period that many consider to be a "golden age" for the genre. It gave Peter Sellers another wonderful role as Cockney gang-leader, Pearly Gates, who often masquerades as "Monsieur Jules", haute couturier to rich and very gullible ladies. Of course, Pearly's real career is organizing robberies for his gang, none of whom seem to have the IQ of a potato ! Lately, however, Pearly and other London-area crooks ... Read More
