I'm All Right Jack (Blu-ray)

Featuring an award-winning and uproarious performance from Peter Sellers (The Ladykillers), I’m All Right Jack is a classic British comedy with a satirical edge. Sellers plays both the stuffy financier Sir John Kennaway and the tragicomic trade union leader Fred Kite. The result is laugh-out-loud farce that lampoons labor relations. Bertram Tracepurcel (Dennis Price) plans to make a fortune from a munitions contract, a scheme that involves manipulating his innocent nephew Stanley Windrush (Ian Carmichael) into acting as the catalyst in a missile factory strike, from which the socialist Mr. Kite is only too keen to make capital. Featuring a superb supporting cast including Terry-Thomas, Richard Attenborough, John Le Mesurier, Irene Handl and Margaret Rutherford, this is an ingenious comedy about the British workplace and self-serving hypocrisy. Winner of British Academy Film Awards for Best British Screenplay and Best British Actor (Sellers), this raucous sequel to Private’s Progress (1956) is bought roaringly to life by Sellers’ astonishing turn as the Stalinist unionist Kite.
