    Starts out well, but can't sustain the momentum...

    Partially from the perceived need, one feels, to include a conventional love story in the plot to make the film more marketable to a 1950's movie-going public.

    The film starts with some wickedly funny characterizations of the upper-class bureaucrats running the Foreign Office --- the British are pilloried in the way that only the British can pillory themselves. But after that, the film loses its way in a conventional farcical plot. Terry-Thomas watchable as always, but the great talent in the cast (Peter Sellers, et al) is largely wasted.

    A diverting, but not great film.

    My brief review of the film

    A flat and rather unfunny British comedy, it is nevertheless revived to a certain degree by nice locations and an interesting, though hardly brilliant, performance from Peter Sellers. I am not sure if Terry-Thomas and Thorley Walters were supposed to look so alike, but either way their similarity in appearance does not help the film, since they are both playing such similar characters that it is easy to forget who is who. The film does have the odd amusing moment or two, and overall it is quite okay stuff to watch, but it is rather far off the par of typical 1950s and 1960s British comedy - and not in a positive direction.

    Almost Sellers

    Surely not yet Sellers at his best. I believe that he still had to be fully discovered. This is Sellers at the very beginning. He was proud of this at the time because he had just put his foot through the door. the best was yet to come. But hey I did appreciate how good this must have been for its time though. Im sure it got the audience laughing back then. I had high hopes to be in a fit, pretty confident I would be cracking up as always with Sellers, but not all that much with this one. But it was worth a watch since the story is based on this island which very much reminds me of the one I live on. Tonight Im going to watch another one of Sellers first and early works called "The smallest show on Earth", I hope it will get me giggling more than this one did as one would expect.

    Classic period English comedy-with scenes to die for...

    Peter Sellers and Terry-Thomas here vie for the honours in a dated but sparkling piece of bunkum. A comedy that aims at so many targets (the cold war US/USSR rivalry, the UN, the British civil service, 'banana republics'...) normally fails, but this certainly has more hits than misses.

    There are two unmissable scenes. The first is a military march-past which is rolling-on-the-floor funny from first to last: the mixed up commentary (note the point when the commentator finally gets a sentence right!); the shenanigans on the parade ground; and the collapsing review stand all combine to excellent effect. Second, a more minor but tasty scene where a table dancer (she is dancing ON the table) distracts Terry-Thomas in the course of his diplomatic discussions- surprising how much eroticism can get through the ludicrously heavy censorship of the period!

    John Le Mesurier does an effective job in a 'wicked uncle' role torn straight from the pages of 19th century melodrama. Those who recall him from his small role in Ben-Hur might have cause to reflect that here is a supporting actor who gets about a bit!

    Overall, both Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers have appeared in better films but, in parts, as funny a film as you are likely to find on a wet afternoon.

    Potential for a very good satire, but a flat, humorless screenplay

    "Man in a Cocked Hat" is a British comedy satire that just doesn't have that many laughs. The DVD I watched is from a Peter Sellers collection that had this film under its original British title, "Carlton Browne of the F. O." Frankly, that title makes a lot more sense.

    Others have weighed in on this film, and I agree with the majority that the film is pretty flat - which means, not very funny. With this cast, there was potential for great laughter. The plot is okay, even a very good one. But it seems to me that so much was put into the ridiculous "power" of the fictional island nation of Gaillardia and not enough into crispy, witty dialog among the characters of the British Foreign Office. So, the silly antics on Gaillardia just don't get the laughs, and the great comedic cast of Terry-Thomas, Peter Sellers, Raymond Huntley, John Le Mesurier and Miles Malleson is mostly wasted.

    This probably isn't a film that many people would stay awake through or watch much beyond the first 15 minutes or so.
