The Battle of the Sexes

Classic British comedy starring Peter Sellers. A tweed manufacturer's elderly accountant devises a plan to save the company from an American takeover bid.

Classic British comedy adapted from a James Thurber story about a tweed manufacturer's elderly accountant who devises a plan to save the company from an American takeover bid. The arrival of an efficiency expert from the States causes enough of a stir but, when it turns out to be a woman, the old-fashioned number cruncher declares war.
