Such wonderful characters and storyline. I was in a militant trades union in the late 60s/early 70s. Everything bang on! Everyone was on the fiddle, bosses and workers.
Sellers isn't the lead in the film but he is certainly the role you remember. Other fims gave more money or prestige but this is, I think , the best ,funniest and most accurate character Peter Sellers ever created . What is amazing is that todays union leaders [and Billy Bragg] still talk in this stilted " soviet speak " - I wonder if they pay royalties to Peter Sellers estate .
sellers peak id say he would becme much more famous when the yanks heard of him but i dont think he ever did anything better

Its a pity Sellers became such an international star, as he stopped making these wonderful British films.

@SpeedTriple59 Yeah, limits on the hours in the working week, no kids or women down the mines or up chimneys. Tragic.

I think old Fred Kite is now working for the Health and Safety Executive now, slowly destroying industry from the outside this time.

I agree, jpck, it's a great Sellers performance. Check out his Brummie vicar in 'Heaven's Above' too. And Billy Bragg is a national treasure!

Maybe the best movie ever on union and corporate corruption and disloyalty. Instructive and hilariously funny.
Go BNP. Go Nationalist.
