30.1.12

the wrong arm of the law (1963)


aka Gentlemenkillers.
"No one knows where we are any more."
The London underworld is up in arms, as their tried and tested methods of robbing people are disrupted when a new gang arrives in town, stealing from them by impersonating the police. Thus Police Inspector Parker (Lionel Jeffries) joins up with gangland boss Pearly Gates' (Peter Sellers) in an attempt to catch these interlopers, and return to the status quo.
A classic comedy, where Lionel Jefferies steals the show as the pompous policeman, no mean feat when he's acting against Peter Sellers.
