Anecdotes
Contrary to an earlier post, the clerk at MacPherson's is clearly referred to several times in the dialogue and also in the end credits as Meekie not Mitty. Meekies have been resident in Scotland since the 19th century.

One of Peter's best pre-Hollywood outings.

This one is a lot of fun, wryly funny, not over-produced and, of course, impeccably cast. Sellers was often sabotaged once Hollywood purloined him but here he's in fine form and gives one of his cleverest performances. Robert Morley lends just the right level of support and Constance Cummings makes a formidable opponent to Sellers's mild-mannered Scot. She's extremely funny without being allowed to go too "over the top." Looks like this one is not available on video so catching it on TV will reward those who keep a sharp eye on the broadcast listings.
