The Battle of the Sexes

SYNOPSIS

This comedy contains one of the most underrated performances by Peter Sellers. He plays a Scottish accountant doing battle with American efficiency expert Constance Cummings, who wants his firm to get rid of old-fashioned impedimenta like him. There's an industrial message that's still relevant today, though director Charles Crichton never seems to be in control enough to make it matter. Perhaps he was too overawed by Sellers's accent, which makes Billy Connolly sound almost English!
