The Naked Truth

Simply spiffing comedy about scandal-mongering, with smarmy Dennis Price playing a gutter press baron who plans to blackmail a number of public figures or smear them across page one unless they hand over their House of Lords luncheon vouchers. Much miffed, Terry-Thomas contacts other victims - Peggy Mount's romantic novelist, Peter Sellers' TV celeb - and lays plans to undo the beastly rotter. A period piece, maybe, but much funnier and arguably more authentic than Scandal.
