Trivia
Contrary to an earlier post, the clerk at MacPherson's is clearly referred to several times in the dialogue and also in the end credits as Meekie not Mitty. Meekies have been resident in Scotland since the 19th century.

Peter Sellers plays tweedy little man with a plan.

British comedy where mild-mannered character played by Sellers is moved to murder when the company he's given his life to is taken over by brash American woman. Due to make-up, Sellers looks the same age as when he played all those Pink Panther movies in the 70's. Cute ending, too.
