Additional InformationThis double-feature of Alastair Sim movies featuring the equally inimitable Terry-Thomas is a wonderful thing. In THE GREEN MAN Sim plays Hawkins, a timid mild-mannered clockmaker, in reluctant retirement from his rather exciting career as an International Assassination Expert. Suddenly a mission comes his way and he wheedles his way into secretary Marigold's affections to glean vital information for his cunning plan to kill Sir Gregory Upshott. But she knows too much and must go too. George Cole stars in a great turn as a vacuum cleaner salesman charming the pop socks off Jill Adam's soon-to-be-wed beauty. Terry-Thomas is the married, dashing, sports car-driving lover of Dora Bryan who tends bar at The Green Man hotel where the killing must take place. This is a classic matinee movie full of fabulous farcical scenes as Sim tries to fulfill his mission and avoid detection.<BR>The SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS is a college where Alastair Sim teaches oneupmanship. Ian Carmichael plays the hapless new student Palfrey who's unlucky in everything. Terry-Thomas plays the already one-up cad Raymond Delauney who Palfrey must beat for affections of April (Janette Scott). During the tennis scene you'll be in hysterics as Terry-Thomas, in response to bad play from Carmichael, repeatedly calls "Hard Cheese". It's great to see the competition hot-up between them with Sim cooly standing by with advice.
