Classic sitcom about a disaster-prone hotelier. A medallion man, a pair of psychiatrists, a pretty Australian girl and a ladder cause Basil some embarrassment.

The feature film starring
Paul Scofield , Wendy Hiller Leo McKern , Robert Shaw
Orson Welles , Susannah York
When Henry VIII declares himself head of the English church and rejects Papal authority, he meets with little opposition from his corrupt courtiers and churchmen. Henry seeks the approval and support of one man alone: Sir Thomas More , his Chancellor. More's refusal to endorse the king's action brings him into tragic conflict with the monarch.
Screenplay by ROBERT BOLT from his play Produced and directed by FRED ZINNEMANN. Films: pages 16-17
