Carlton-Browne Of The F.O.

Four classic movies featuring the inimitable, irreplaceable Peter Sellers.
CARLTON BROWNE OF THE F.O.: This farcical comedy features Peter Sellers plays Amphilbulous. the corrupt Prime Minister of a small Pacific Island (and British colony) that discovers valuable mineral deposits in its land. Terry-Thomas plays a man despatched from the Foreign Office to cement good relations with the islanders, but with typically hapless results.
In THE SMALLEST SHOW ON EARTH, a young British couple inherits a rundown theatre and tries to compete with the glorious movie palace next door. This comedy features plenty of quirky characters.
Peter Sellers plays the title role in HOFFMAN--the comedy about a middle-aged misfit who blackmails his secretary into spending the weekend with him.
TWO-WAY STRETCH: Even though the prison conditions in which Sellers and his pals live are more similar to those of a luxury hotel than a jail, they find that they must leave a day before their scheduled parole in order to pull off a jewel heist.

Starring Peter Sellers, Luciana Paluzzi, Terry-Thomas, Ian Bannen, Raymond Huntley, John Le Mesurier, Marie Lohr, Thorley Walters, Kynaston Reeves

  • Hit-or-miss farcical comedy several rungs below the Ealing style, with all concerned in poor form.

    unfunny satire

    all these great actors but no laughs.some amusing moments usually involving Huntley or Walters.Peter Sellers does`nt do much and it`s all too serious to be a comedy.
