Description:
Based on the Stephen Potter "One Upmanship" and "Lifemanship" books, a young man finds a very special school. It teaches him how to take advantage of people; how to seduce women, how to gain points in conversation, and how to beat a better tennis player by driving him crazy. He begins to put the lessons into operation.

Much has been written in the reviews about possibly of the best films ever put on screen play and is a remarkable insight into English social standings and one upmanship.
My two lines that stand out to me are "in the dark??????" and have you got a "piece of string" As these were not mentioned in any of the other reviews it was time to add these choice words. To understand more, you have to get the movie :-)

Excellent comedy, starring 4 of the most prominent British comic actors of the day, Alastair Sim, Terry Thomas, Dennis Price, and Ian Carmichael. Based on Stephen Potter's "Lifemanship" books. Though not as deep and extensive as Potter's writings, it is nevertheless a very amusing excerpt.
