The Battle of the Sexes

When his boss abruptly passes away, the meek accountant (Peter Sellers) at a small Scottish textiles concern is faced with the twin terrors of the chief’s overbearing heir (Robert Morley) and the American efficiency expert (Constance Cummings) retained to streamline operations. With company morale plunging, the beleaguered bean-counter starts considering some deadly options to preserve the status quo! Charming take on James Thurber’s “The Catbird Seat” from director Charles Crichton also stars Donald Pleasence, Ernest Thesiger. 84 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; theatrical trailers.
