"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:

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.
