Waar kijk je School for Scoundrels?
School for Scoundrels (1960) staat nu in Nederland op Netflix.
Hapless Henry Palfrey is patronised by his self-important chief clerk at work, ignored by restaurant waiters, conned by shady second-hand car salesmen, and, worst of all, endlessly wrong-footed by unspeakably rotten cad Raymond Delauney who has set his cap at April, new love of Palfrey's life. In desperation Henry enrolls at the College of Lifemanship to learn how to best such bounders and win the girl.
Onze korte recensie
This proto-self-help comedy operates on a surprisingly dark wavelength about masculine insecurity disguised as genteel British farce, and its willingness to undercut its own protagonist's growth—the film's most subversive strength—anticipates decades of comedy to come.
