Rating: - In the Dark
Much has been written in the reviews about possibly of the best films ever put on screen play and is a remarkable insight into English social standings and one upmanship.
My two lines that stand out to me are "in the dark??????" and have you got a "piece of string" As these were not mentioned in any of the other reviews it was time to add these choice words. To understand more, you have to get the movie :-)
However my favourite all around scene is when the character of ... Read More
Rating: - School for Scoundrels
As a young man in England, I saw this movie in the early sixties and it made such an impression on me, that I simply had to own it, 45 years later.
A British classic comedy, not overdone and not to be outdone.
Rating:  - School for Comedy
Directed by Robert Hamer. With (a very young and handsome) Ian Carmichael, (a terribly nasty - and funny) Terry-Thomas, and (a manic) Alastair Sim. I've seen this movie so many times... from the time I was a child and didn't understand it all until now and understand it all too well... I've loved it every time. No -- no laugh 'til you cry. No embarrass your fellow human sight jokes. No punching and violence like the Three Stooges. No Obscenities. No Chases. No Belittling. Just humor. Soft, enjoyable ... Read More
Rating: - Hard Cheese, Old Man!
One of my all time favorite comedies. I first saw this, upon the recommendation of my late friend Larry Strayer, on late night television way back in my college years.
Ian Carmichael plays the nice boy who always loses, Terry-Thomas plays the sophisticated upper class cad who tries to steal his girl away from him, Alastair Sims plays the worldly professor of the School of Lifesmanship, Janette Scott is the girl they are fighting over, and Dennis Price plays the crooked used car dealer. ...

Rating: - Ian Carmichael at his most innocent; Terry-Thomas as his most unctuous; Alastair Sim at his most Simish
"Oh, hard cheese, old man!"
School for Scoundrels, that cheery, malicious comedy of one-upmanship, was based on Stephen Potter's classic of underhanded winning, Gamesmanship - Or How To Win Without Really Cheating, and its follow-up, Lifemanship. (Potter wrote several others, too.) What is lifemanship? "Well, gentlemen," says the avuncular head of school played by Alastair Sim to a new class, "lifemanship is the science of being one up on your opponents at all times. It's the art of making ...
