Aiming to reverse his failed attempts to succeed in life and love, Ian Carmichael’s loser enrols at the school of one-upmanship. Comic masters Alastair Sim and Terry-Thomas are on top form, and there is much irreverent humour and downright silliness in the last film by director Hamer, which was inspired by the sketches in the Gamesmanship books of Stephen Potter.

Free for the over-60s (booking by phone or in person only), otherwise normal matinee price.
