Tom Courtenay (Bill Liar) and Romy Schneider (What's New Pussycat?) star in this hilarious British spy spoof set in Sixties Swinging London from Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (The Likely Lads, Porridge). When Gerald Otley (Tom Courtenay) went to sleep last night, he was just a grubby scrounger, an incompetent petty theif and an even more incompetent antiques dealer.
Now, this morning, he's somehow woken up at Gatwick Airport to find himself one of Britain's most wanted men! The police are hunting him down for murder. Teams of special agents and spies are suddenly lurking around every corner. There's a part-time hit man (Leonard Rossiter) on his trail and a gorgeous femme fatle (Romy Scheider) wants more than his body...
With an all star supporting cast including James Bolam and Freddie Jones - and Winner of the Best British Comedy Screenplay Award from the Writer's Guild of Great Britain - this cracking comedy caper classic is now available to own on UK DVD for the very first time!
