Upper-class but unemployable Stanley Windrush (Ian Carmichael) is offered an unskilled job on the floor of a missile factory owned by his unscrupulous Uncle Bertram (Dennis Price). When personnel manager Major Hitchcock (Terry-Thomas) discovers how much more quickly Windrush can complete his tasks than the other workers, union steward Fred Kite (Peter Sellers) calls a strike to keep his men from having their wages cut. The unexpected results cause nothing but trouble for all concerned.

An intentionally politically messy movie, John Boulting’s stinging satire wants to burn the whole system down by taking aim at the new Britain emerging after the war.

5/5

…I’m All Right Jack is the kind of fearless, relevant British movie they stopped making in, check notes, 1959. It’s one big V-sign to the authorities…a crash course in class conflict and British cultural history...

2/5

Peter Sellers & Ian Carmichael deliver strong turns. Unfortunately, whatever satiric bite "I'm All Right Jack" clamped down with has been left to its era — a film built for Sellers completists, 20th-century Britain historians and / or union-cinema fans.

Stealing the entire show is Peter Sellers as the union official chained to the rule book.

One of the very best British comedies, despite appearing dated. In a-black-and-white film depicting bleak post-war Britain, with pre-sixties woollen clothes, old-fashioned accents and unbelievably ancient-looking cars and interiors, 1959 can seem little different from the middle ages, so much has changed. There are some brilliant lines in it. Sellers as the union leader utters the ironic gem " I'd like to go to Russia; all those cornfields and ballet in the evenings". Great character studies from Irene Handl and Liz Fraser as well as Sellers, Carmichael, Terry-Thomas and Attenborough. One of my absolute favourite films, despite Britain, and the world now looking an entirely different place - but the themes and issues are as fresh as daisies . . .

A surprisingly even handed satire on corruption at all levels. Sellers is excellent as the labor union boss - one of those strong convictions but no social prowess types. I especially liked his deer in headlights moment on the television round table. Wish there had been more laughs in general though. The final scene with a group of naked women chasing Carmichael must have been a Monty Python influence.
