School for Scoundrels
1960
An inveterate rogue and social climber enrols in a course run by a self-improvement guru and uses the techniques he learns not to better himself but to cheat and deceive his way ahead of a straightforward rival in both love and business. Ian Carmichael and Terry-Thomas star in this sharp British comedy of class and bad faith.
