School For Scoundrels (1960)

This British comedy is a great film and an interesting one too, it starts off with a polite young man who can't get very far in life but when he goes to the school for scoundrels he turns arrogant yet cunning which some what helps him in life.

There were many funny parts and the director Robert Hamer made an interesting and captivating story line. The main characters car was just funny just the way it would squeak and bang and pop it reminded me of the car from chitty chitty bang bang or maybe the vacuum from the telly-tubbys.

Comedys have to be funny otherwise there is no point in calling them a comedy, however what makes this one so different is the way it is mischievous and always gets the bad guy (who by the way really got on my nerves because you don't really go around stealing peoples girlfriends). An example of when it was funny was when the two men were playing tennis and one of them threw the racket at the other one and tried to make it look accidental but also rubbing it in as well, it was funny because the man getting hit by the racket was so stupid that he didn't realise that the other man was doing it on purpose. I also found the way they said 'Hard cheese' funny because it is just a really random thing to say and just made me think how slang differs from back then to today.

Hard Cheese!
