Peter Sellers stars as bolshie trade union leader Fred Kite in this famous , and utterly hilarious , comedy about industrial relations and national strikes. Richard Attenborough, Terry Thomas, Margaret Rutherford, John le Mesurier and Ian Carmichael co-star. Digitally restored edition. [Sellers] brings rare humour and an occasional touch of pathos to the role. Sellers\'strength is that he does not deliberately play for laughs. He produces them from the situations and sharp dialogue.\', Variety
