"Oh, hard cheese, old chap!" School for Scoundrels, that cheery, malicious comedy of one-upmanship, was based on Stephen Potter's classic of underhanded winning, Gamesmanship - Or How To Win Without Really Cheating, and its follow-up, Lifemanship. (Potter wrote several others, too.) What is lifemanship? "Well, gentlemen," says the avuncular head of school played by Alastair Sim to a new class, "lifemanship is the science of being one up on your opponents at all times. It's the art of making him feel that somewhere, some how, he's become less that you. He who is not one up, is one down." Getting ready to sign up for the courses is Henry Palfrey (Ian Carmichael), so nice, so pleasant, so helpful that he usually finds ... Read More:

A teacher Gwen Mayfield(Joan Fontaine) suffers a nervous breakdown, after falling foul of a witch doctor whilst working in Africa. Seemingly recovered when she returns to England, she is offered a job teaching at a small private school in the country. Then Gwen starts to notice strange little customs and rituals amongst the villagers, and starts to fear for the safety of two of her pupils. Could history be repeating itself, and a witches coven has found its way into rural England, or is Gwen heading for another breakdown? The problem with this film is that it builds up so much tension, and audience expectation, that the climax is a serious let down.Up to now the film has been full of creepy little scenes, and has raised as many questions as answers,but ...

I saw this film on television many years ago and was thrilled when I saw it had been released on dvd but worried in case the years might have tarnished its charm - they haven't! The film is a little gem, beautifully reproduced, Peter Finch is amazing and frankly, 'they just don't make 'em like this anymore'. Finding it was almost as good as the hero's discovery but I won't spoil it for you ... do yourself a favour and buy it while you can!

One aspect of the series is Annette Andre, the co-star of this television program. She is definately eye candy and I recommend the series. Even better, I get to meet Andre personally at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Aberdeen, Maryland in September. I plan to get an autograph and have my picture taken with her. If you are not familiar with this talented and beautiful actress, this TV series shows just how good she is. Amazon.com has a great price so grab your copy today.

These are two quality comedy films: School for Scoundrels (1960) - A very funny film with an impeccable cast (Terry-Thomas, Alastair Sim, Ian Carmichael, Dennis Price, John Le Mesurier and many more). It's all about "One-Upmanship" in all aspects of life, particularly romance. After a number of put-downs and knock-backs at the hands of Terry-Thomas, Ian Carmichael decides to enrol at a College (run by Alastair Sim) that specialises in "One-Upmanship" so he can better cope with life's difficulties, mainly at the expense of others. The series of set-backs before Carmichael enrols at the college are very funny. A tennis match between Carmichael and Thomas (to impress the lady they are both after) is particularly good, with Terry-Thomas calling out "hard cheese!" every ... Read More:
