A particularly impressive and downright screwball Ealing farce. Not sure if it was made in Ealing, but it seems like it. It's such a shame that with the advent of "Kitchen Sink" gritty realism, beginning in the late '50s, Britain just seemed to stop making movies that were charming and fun. Our flair for droll comedy dried up in the '60s and give or take Mike Leigh's work, "Orphans" or "Withnail & I", hasn't returned. The characters are so well defined, with master character actor Peter Sellers again showing his virtuoso talents for adopting various persona. Terry-Thomas and the smooth Dennis Price are brilliantly assured with the material, but Sellers does steal the show, portraying a cynical yet whimsical celebrity perfectly. I love the bit where he does the Irish accent, and cliched talk and the Irishmen react with bemusement. This is only the second film I've seen with Sellers (Dr Strangelove being the illustrious other), but it seems few can match his acting range and comic touch. It would seem that "The Naked Truth" has been, to some extent, forgotten. A state of affairs as farcical as the film. Rating:- **** (out of *****)
