I'm All Right Jack Blu-ray Movie  

Kino Lorber | 1959 | 105 min | Not rated | Apr 08, 2025 | Dr. Svet Atanasov

The 1959 I'm All Right Jack set Peter Sellers on the road to international stardom after his decade on radio in The Goons. As later in Dr Strangelove, Sellers here plays multiple roles--both Sir John Kennaway and, unforgettably, the bolshie trades-union leader Fred Kite. The result is laugh-out-loud comedy with a satirical edge, lampooning the then burning issue of industrial relations. Bertram Tracepurcel (Dennis Price) plans to make a fortune from a missile contract, a scheme that involves manipulating his innocent nephew Stanley Windrush (Ian Carmichael) into acting as the catalyst in an escalating labour dispute, from which the socialist Mr Kite is only too keen to make capital.
