Film Description

A set of classic British comedy, containing Battle of the Sexes (Crichton, 1959), Ladies Who Do (Pennington-Richards, 1963) and The Boy Who Stole a Million (Crichton, 1960).

Battle of the Sexes: A female efficiency expert sent by her US company plans a new future for a Scottish tweed factory, but the accountant there plans on getting rid of her after seeing a whodunit film. A lively farce with a young Peter Sellers on winning form.

A British action comedy made in 1960, The Boy Who Stole a Million was filmed in Valencia, Spain. 12-year-old Paco (Maurice Reyna) is a runner at a Valencia bank. When his father, Miguel's (Virgilio Teixeira) taxi needs repairing, Paco decides to 'borrow' money from the bank to pay for the costs, meaning his father will be able to work during an upcoming festival. However, the bank soon discovers money is missing and pursue Paco in an effort to get it back. A gangster mob also joins in on the chase, making the situation even more dangerous for Paco.

Ladies Who Do: A group of charladies make a fortune at the stock market by making good use of tips salvaged from their employers' waste paper baskets. Soon they are the ones calling the shots in the boardroom in this delightful comedy.
