I bet 5000 squid for the account that this is one of the best & most hilarious movies of all time. Why can't they return to such quality nowadays? Not innocent nonsense at all, insider trading at its best, to make the SEC's and the prosecutor's day!!! Bob Morley, Peggy Mount, the entire cast deserve an Oscar posthum.
I think it's a consensus, -nobody does a comedy like the British! They can find humor in all sorts of situations and make us laugh about it! Thanks for posting this goody for us
Even those who appear in NOT much more than a walk-on are well-known, such as Marianne Stone (39:09), here as Mrs Gubbins, who barely says much, i a very well-known actress, who might be most familiar to film audiences, in her silent role as Vivian Darkbloom (an anagram for the writer of Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov), the long, black-haired with bangs and wearing an Egyptian slave bracelet who's always with Claire Quilty (Peter Sellers) in Lolita, and many other roles.
I was born and raised in England and not English. I appreciate their culture and humor something that makes English unique from the rest of the world. I watched this movie twice in a week btw 😂
I saw this movie as a little kid and loved it. I never forgot it and it's been decades. It's cute. Probably funnier for a 6 year old but still enjoyable. Thanks Flick Vault. Now for The Pure Hell Of St Trinians
Brittish humor is just one of a kind. Clever and so very sharp. I watched Jeeves and Wooster series on TH-cam, excellent! Thanks for sharing these great entertainment!
Enjoyed every minute of the old movie , good clean comedy .I sent the link to my daughter in Perth Western Australia . She absolutely loved it . Thanks .
Peggy Mount - a big character and a forse to be recond with - no ones ever come close before or after - and Dandy Nicols what a wonderful actress - great cast all round
Absolutely first class very funny classic 1960s British comedy film. Superb cast and writing and direction. There's a new recent version. It's not in the same class. Love this film.😎❤️
My mother was offered a two up two down semi detached cottage for £90 in 1964 . It was 4 miles north of Luton . Her parents wouldn't lend her the money . I don't think she ever really forgave them .
@@eboracum2012 Perhaps worse still was my father who took the 10 % house deposit that my mother had saved and then spent it ! She didn't bother trying to forgive him , he was history . I think I was better off without him in my life anyway . My mother RIP was wise enough council to point me on the right path .
I have watched this movie so many times. Love it on every level. Peggy Mount unmatched in talent, I could listen to her all day long . Such a fabulous cast. Ed Devereaux....aaaah beloved Aussie. Thank you for uploading this x
Lovedit, only trouble was couldn't put names to all the familiar faces & no cast list at the end, but otherwise top stuff, glad I discovered this channel 😀
Good film with a nice cast Robert Morley, Peggy Mount, Harry H Corbett, Jon Pertwee, Ron Moody using a plot line which was recently borrowed and updated with City char ladies which highlights how technology might come and go but information will always have a value.
This film reminds me of the ITV drama Cleaning Up starring Sheriden Smith. Does anybody remember, where she played a cleaner who organised a team of her fellow cleaners to work the corporate offices of London. After coming across a hot tip while on her cleaning shift, she set out to pull the rug from underneath their corporate feet. Interesting !
Do you have any Gainsborough Pictures or any by W. Somerset Maugham? I enjoy movies that are entertaining without violence, swearing or heavy intrigue. When acting is true.

Serious Kalimari
Born in 1968......Great to see Harry h Corbett, Jon pertwee and Peggy mount...legends of my 70s TV growing up..😂
I think it's a consensus, -nobody does a comedy like the British! They can find humor in all sorts of situations and make us laugh about it! Thanks for posting this goody for us
The best I’ve seen in years! I was in stitches all through. Brilliant acting throughout. The script writer deserves medals galore
All legendary actors. Grew up watching TV with these people. So sad Harry H Corbett died so young.
Even those who appear in NOT much more than a walk-on are well-known, such as Marianne Stone (39:09), here as Mrs Gubbins, who barely says much, i a very well-known actress, who might be most familiar to film audiences, in her silent role as Vivian Darkbloom (an anagram for the writer of Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov), the long, black-haired with bangs and wearing an Egyptian slave bracelet who's always with Claire Quilty (Peter Sellers) in Lolita, and many other roles.
Was she the disgruntled communist who said, ""On the dying body of capitulism"?@@UNOwen1
@UNOwen1 Marianne Stone was in so many films during the 1960s and 70s including several Carry Ons
Stellar cast of famous British actors. Lovely to see them all again, especially in a film I haven't watched before. Thank you.
Try the Ghosts of Berkeley Square next
Thank you for this! I remember when it came out, I saw it at the local cinema and I've never forgotten it. What a cast!
I watched this a couple of years ago, so glad to watch it again. Long live these amazing old Best of British films.
I grew up watching these actors on TV. Love it!
I was born and raised in England and not English. I appreciate their culture and humor something that makes English unique from the rest of the world. I watched this movie twice in a week btw 😂
Harry Fowler, Graham Stark, and of Mriam Karlin ,Arthur Mullard Bloody Brilliant British Comedy Classic.
Anyone notice the 4th lady with the 80 year old mother was the actress who played Mildreds snooty sister in George and Mildred.
Great show I tell you. No one produces movies like the British. Robert Morley excellent as always.
Pure clean, innocent nonsense, but entertaining as heck. Magic. 😄💕💕💕💕
I love these old comedy films...
Just watched and I loved every minute. What goes around comes around. Love the British movies from the 40s through the late 1950s.
I saw this movie as a little kid and loved it. I never forgot it and it's been decades. It's cute. Probably funnier for a 6 year old but still enjoyable.
Thanks Flick Vault.
Now for The Pure Hell Of St Trinians
Carry on Nurse, Make Mine Mink and best of all, The Lady Killers with Alec Guinness
Amen! What does one have to do around here to get enrolled at St. Trinian's?
@@Larkinchance Don't forget The Happiest Days of Your Life!
@@hortondlfn1994 I was in the US and in 1960 these were being shown in "Arts cinemas"
The very best one was "The Lady Killers"
Me too...
This was the age of the Spectaculars like Sparticus and the small cinemas had to compete
Oh how I miss those times...the Old Good Europe! Cheers from Canada! Thank you so so sow very much for a treat!
Wonderful. Nobody has ever matched Peggy Mount as a battleaxe. Many have tried. But Peggy was the best. Even better than Ena Sharples. Lol
Brittish humor is just one of a kind. Clever and so very sharp. I watched Jeeves and Wooster series on TH-cam, excellent! Thanks for sharing these great entertainment!
Real classes of the old world with heightened characters! Love it!
Enjoyed every minute of the old movie , good clean comedy .I sent the link to my daughter in Perth Western Australia . She absolutely loved it . Thanks .
Peggy Mount - a big character and a forse to be recond with - no ones ever come close before or after - and Dandy Nicols what a wonderful actress - great cast all round
Yikes!....force...reckoned..(past tense of reckon)
I love Peggy Mount. She reminds me of my grandma.
All grans looked like that in the 1960s.
Or my aunty Bridge if she was Irish
Forgotten gem. Excellent
Thank you so much for this lovely movie. ❤ from India on a gloomy, rain drenched afternoon. You made my day😊
Thank you for bringing us all these great old films! Keep 'em coming! Deb x
I adore this movie! I wish Flick Vault would upload "It's Never Too Late" (1956).
Peggy Mount was a fabulous actress and with a cast like this I absolutely loved this film
thanks for posting
Love these old comedies made when England was still English
Here ! Here ! When England was England...!
@@EllisonBallard-m4y Well, blame yourselves for letting immigrants come and take over your country
comedy as it used too be .and how it should be😀
prefare it a bit bluer
Worked with her once. She was just like that in real life. Breath taking
British comedy at its best.
Robert Morley class actor
and Alf Garnett's silly ol' moo
Peggy Mount the complete battle axe
Didn't Dandy Nichols play Alf Garnett's wife
@@RuthFreeman-b6pyes she did ❤
One of my favourite British movies of all time. What a cast!
Absolutely first class very funny classic 1960s British comedy film. Superb cast and writing and direction. There's a new recent version. It's not in the same class. Love this film.😎❤️
What a fabulous film with a fabulous cast and it's nice to see a bit of old Battersea.
What a lovely movie. I absolutely loved Nigel Davenport. Thanks for uploading.
Very good, Peggy Mount was in full battle axe mode here. Many thanks for posting.
I came for Jon Pertwee, but I ended up enjoying the entire film as well!
This film is nothing but brilliant thanks for posting saw it a few years back - everyone should watch this
A really brilliant film. Harry H Corbett of Steptoe and Son had no chance against Peggy Mount
I see Jon Pertwee here, he was my favorite Dr.Who from way back.
Loved it, they should bring the old films back.
They are back, on TH-cam. Pay attention
What a delightful movie on this “easy like Sunday morning” in Nevada. A much needed break from the world 🌎. Thank you😊
Loved this film, lots of laughs. Great actors. 🥰🇬🇧
Love the way they talk !!
Brilliant movie. Got it on DVD. What a cast!
Brilliant. Corbett must've worked on this at the same time he was doing Steptoe and Son.
10:15 Harry H. Corbett with Jon Pertwee. Steptoe and Dr. Who in the same scene!
Also Ron Moody as the policeman later on and even Claire Davenport as one of the housewives (uncredited) at the 1 hour 10 minute mark :)
They were also both in Carry On Screaming.
Nice movie, sincere thanks for the uploading 👍
What a charming movie! I almost didn’t watch it but I’m glad I did! Thank you 🌷
Great old movie..should be more well known, right from the beginning, what a treat, highly recommended...very different.
A truly delightful movie a real spirit raiser. Thank you.
A gem! Really enjoyable. Thank you.
Great movie!! loved the story line ....information was & still is powerful!! lol!
Excellent film, thanks for this channel, please maintain the standard.
Funny!! Great story and cast. Love it. Keep them coming. Thanks for the upload.
Really enjoyed this film. A brilliant watch !
Wow ! I knew it was Peggy Mount as soon as I saw her. So young ! Jon Pertwee too..great cast indeed. I've never seen this until now. Superb !😀
an all english cast brilliant loved it
1963 - when the average UK house cost £3,160.
So the Colonel's £5,000 profit was a big deal!
My mother was offered a two up two down semi detached cottage for £90 in 1964 . It was 4 miles north of Luton .
Her parents wouldn't lend her the money . I don't think she ever really forgave them .
£5k in 1963 = £230k today, averaged across measures! - Wow!
@@SimonNoina You wonder how much of that huge inflation over 50-odd years was really caused by wage demands: I don't think so.
@@johnniethepom2905
I don't blame her!
The chance of a lifetime, lost for want of a little support.
@@eboracum2012 Perhaps worse still was my father who took the 10 % house deposit that my mother had saved and then spent it ! She didn't bother trying to forgive him , he was history . I think I was better off without him in my life anyway . My mother RIP was wise enough council to point me on the right path .
These bring back memories of when I was a child in my family some older people still dress like this
brilliant movie always love Robert Moeley and Harry Corbett slipping in and out of his cockney origins as he did in Steptoe
Very good movie. Well entertaining. The older movies are so much better. Too many ads, but still worth watching
I have watched this movie so many times. Love it on every level. Peggy Mount unmatched in talent, I could listen to her all day long . Such a fabulous cast. Ed Devereaux....aaaah beloved Aussie. Thank you for uploading this x

A blast from the past - vintage from my youth -
One of my all time favorite films - great cast
So many actors in the cast who found fame later on. Arthur Mullard, Barbara Mitchell, Harry Fowler. A good fun film.
Peggy mount takes me back what a voice
One of my favorite films great cast and plot seen 3 times on talking pictures tv
Just great recognising so many faces from long ago. Great treat.
An absolute CLASSIC! :)
I've never seen this before. What a great cast.
Peggy Mount. :-D
I used to tell my mother she reminded me of Peggy Mount. She hated that. But she really did, though Peggy came across as being kinder.
Wonderful! Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing this hilarious classic! ❤
That was BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for the upload! I am a new subscriber.👍🏾👌🏾🕊️🥰💗💞💓💕💖💘💝

Never seen this before, thanks for uploading. I thought Peggy Mount was wonderful in it.
Soooo enjoyable if you are keen on brilliant British comedies 😂😂😂
One of thé best movies ever.
The old films are the best films.
Peggy Mount , brilliant .
"I'm the lady what does here of the morning" classic stuff.
Thanks so much, what a cast. HH Corbett, Peggy Mount, Robert Morley, Dandy Nichols, Miriam Karlin (?) etc. Fabulous.
brilliant movie, full of good old stars from age gone. ;-)
My favourite type of film. Thankyou for this.
Absolutely marvelous.
Action packed yet no guns and no violence of any kind 😂😂😂
Good film with a nice cast Robert Morley, Peggy Mount, Harry H Corbett, Jon Pertwee, Ron Moody using a plot line which was recently borrowed and updated with City char ladies which highlights how technology might come and go but information will always have a value.
I look deeper into the script
Loved the movie historical story
I love this film - thanks for uploading it.
Loved this film.
Morley was a master of his trade ❤
This film reminds me of the ITV drama Cleaning Up starring Sheriden Smith. Does anybody remember, where she played a cleaner who organised a team of her fellow cleaners to work the corporate offices of London. After coming across a hot tip while on her cleaning shift, she set out to pull the rug from underneath their corporate feet. Interesting !
Just watched recently. It was so good and what goes around comes around!
Yeah. As soon as I saw the film description I thought of the Sheridan Smith drama. I wonder if they got the idea from this oldie.😊
It's a remake of the same story
Absolutely brilliant' real talent "real entertainment'
Do you have any Gainsborough Pictures or any by W. Somerset Maugham? I enjoy movies that are entertaining without violence, swearing or heavy intrigue. When acting is true.
Greatly enjoyed this
Such a clever plot. They don’t do them like that anymore. So funny. .
