Though he plays a supporting role, Peter Sellers steals the show in this late-50s British comedy about labor unrest. Sellers plays the union boss at a missile factory where a relative of one of the owners has just gone to work as a forklift driver. High jinks ensue. This is very much a creature of its time, infested throughout with the very English humor of the post-war period. Even so, much of it is funny, sometimes even downright clever. However, I should admit on a personal note that this review is based on a re-watch (I first saw it many years ago when I was just a kid) that came on the heels of a two-year stint as a union president, so I might have enjoyed it a bit more than I would have otherwise just because I recognized a lot of the situations and personalities from my own personal experiences. Mildly amusing
