The Black Sheep of Whitehall (1941)
Director: Will Hay, Basil Dearden
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The traditional Hay formula - his seedy correspondence course lecturer is mistaken for an economics expert kidnapped by spies, allowing him to indulge in much pretence and buffoonery, and to end up in a manic chase - is inserted into a predictably patriotic plot about plucky little Brits outwitting the Nazi villains. Funny in parts.Author: GA
