This is the true story of Oberleutnant Franz von Werra, the only German prisoner of war to escape from imprisonment in Britain during the Second World War.

1956. A man invents a new cleaning machine. His brother in law offers to help him promote it and they get help from the Purity League. Featuring Joan Sims in one of her earlier roles.

Michael Brewster is a good-natured young man who stands to inherit £8,000,000. There's one catch, though. Michael only gets the windfall if he spends the first million of his inheritance in 60 days. Sounds simple, right? You'd be surprised!

An irreverent black comedy adapted by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat from their play, The Green Man marked the directorial debut of camera operator Robert Day. A scintillating Alastair Sim plays Hawkins, a timid watchmaker with a part time job – he is also a professional assassin who bumps off the people we love to hate. But when the philandering MP Sir Gregory Upshott is the intended target, vacuum cleaner salesman William Blake and Hawkins’ new neighbour Ann Vincent repeatedly get in the way. As the time of the assassination draws ever closer and Hawkins tracks his victim to a dilapidated seaside hotel called the Green Man, the laughs and the tension steadily rise to a brilliant climax. An enormously entertaining farce that ticks all the genre's boxes (mistaken identities, compromising positions, much panicking and slamming of doors).

The bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau tries to catch an infamous jewel thief before he can steal a priceless diamond from a princess.
