Dry Rot
1956 comedy in which three dodgy bookies, Alf Tubbe, Flash Harry, and Fred Phipps, plan to rig a horse race by kidnapping the fancied horse and its French jockey.
Staying at a country house hotel near the racecourse, run by Colonel and Mrs Wagstaff, they conceal the horse Sweet Lavender (and later the jockey) in a hidden cellar, which results in a series of increasingly comedic situations.
