TWO-WAY STRETCH
U.K., 1960
Directed by Robert Day
Starring Peter Sellers, Bernard Cribbins, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Lionel Jeffries
Approx. 87 min. DCP 4K Restoration.
“Convicts Sellers, Cribbins, and Lodge treat prison like a holiday camp and hatch a plan with bogus clergyman Hyde-White to escape from the joint, deprive a maharaja of his jewels, then break back in again to ensure a watertight alibi. Unfortunately, new warden Jeffries is determined to initiate a tougher regime, which puts the gang's plans in jeopardy. With a tight narrative and a raft of top British character actors, this ebullient comedy could hardly go wrong — and it didn't.” – Time Out
