Terry Thomas Collection

Collection of six films featuring British comedy actor Terry-Thomas. In 'School for Scoundrels' 1960, Henry Palfrey Ian Carmichael is one of life's losers. Despised and disregarded at work, his prospective girlfriend April Janette Scott is whisked from under his nose by charming bounder Raymond Delauney Terry-Thomas. In desperation, Henry enrols at Stephen Potter's Alastair Sim College of Lifemanship, where he gradually learns how to get one up on the other fellow. In 'Private's Progress' 1956, upper-class twit Windrush Ian Carmichael causes military mayhem when he joins up in the army. An inept soldier, he unwittingly becomes involved in his high-ranking uncle's Dennis Price scam to appropriate some rather valuable spoils of war - a haul of German jewels. 'Make Mine Mink' 1960 is based on the stage play by Peter Coke. When Dame Beatrice Appleby Athene Seyler receives a fur coat from her ex-jailbird maid Lily Billie Whitelaw she can't help but suspect that it was stolen. In order to set things right she gathers together a team of local misfits, headed by the eccentric Major Rayne Terry-Thomas, and draws up plans for a reverse-heist which will secretly put the mink back into the hands of its rightful owners. However, when the gang set out on their mission, they soon begin thinking that their talents could be put to other uses. In 'Too Many Crooks' 1958, Fingers George Cole and his gang of crooks seem to be having a run of bad luck, as they keep botching one job after another.
