Synopsis
From the legendary filmmaking team of Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat (The Lady Vanishes,
Endless Night) comes the star-studded political satire Left Right and Centre, featuring – among
many others – Ian Carmichael (Lucky Jim), Alastair Sim (Hue and Cry), and Richard Wattis (The Ugly
Duckling).
When popular TV personality Robert Wilcot (Carmichael) is selected as the Conservative candidate
for a small-town by-election, he finds himself up against headstrong Labour candidate Stella
Stoker (Patricia Bredin, The Bridal Path). To the fury of Wilcot’s eccentric uncle (Sim), the
candidates struggle to maintain the momentum of their political battle after they begin to fall in
love...
With its original poster campaign declaring ‘You’ll howl when SEX and POLITICS collide head on!’,
Left Right and Centre takes a wry look at what happens when a man and a woman run for political
office under the glare of the media’s watchful eye. Sound familiar?
