Press clippings
A Boulting brothers comedy based on Kingsley Amis's bestselling satirical novel. Little satire here, though: the casting of Ian Carmichael as the eponymous hero, with Terry-Thomas in attendance, points to a more broadly farcical intent. The angry young university lecturer Jim Dixon is invited to the house of pompous professor Hugh Griffith for the weekend, where he is acutely accident-prone.
