The Boulting Brothers aim their satirical gaze at British trade unionism and industrial relations in this sequel to Private's Progress. Stanley Windrush (Carmichael) returns from the war determined to carve a niche for himself in the industrial world, much to the displeasure of his Aunt Dolly (Margaret Rutherford) but is dismayed to discover he'll have to work his way up from the bottom at his uncle Bertram Tracepurcel's (Dennis Price) armament factory. His employment causes union problems as Stanley isn't a member, with shop steward Fred Kite (Peter Sellers in a BAFTA winning performance) keen to assert the employees' rights. This plays straight into the hands of Tracepurcel, who engineered the strike to facilitate a money-making scam involving another factory owner (Richard Attenborough). Events come to an hilarious head when Stanley becomes the centre of attention in a TV interview. I'm Alright Jack won the 1960 BAFTA for Best British Screenplay.
