The Naked Truth (1957 Mario Zampi)

Written by Michael Pertwee. Despite presence of Sellars and Terry-Thomas  film isn't one of those classics of the period. Dennis Price is blackmailing celebrities who (sort of) band together to get rid of him. Could have been better written. Sellars isn't actually that funny when going through various make-up and accent changes and works better for me when he's semi-straight viz. I'm All Right Jack or Only Two Can Play.

With Shirley Eaton, Peggy Mount, Georgina Cookson (Thomas' wife), Joan Sims, Miles Malleson and Kenneth Griffiths (both fairly redundant characters), David Lodge.

Shot by Stan Pavey with Gerry Turpin operating.
