A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (1966): Zero Mostel, Buster Keaton, Phil Silvers and an all-star cast scam their way through this boisterous romp amidst gorgeous girls, mistaken identities, stunning surprises, cunning disguises and great Sondheim songs.

How I Won The War (1967): Lieutenant Goodbody (Michael Crawford) has absolutely no idea how to lead his British regiment in the North African battlefield of WWII. But what he lacks in experience, he makes up for in enthusiasm. And when he's ordered to build a cricket playing field 100 miles behind enemy lines, he's determined to succeed even if this means most of his men are killed in the process. Abandoned by his superiors, betrayed by his inferiors and finally captured by Nazis, it's going to take more than his unrelenting optimism to win the day.

The Knack And How To Get It (1965): Cool and sophisticated Tolen has a monopoly on womanising - with a long line of conquests to prove it - while the naive and awkward Colin desperately wants a piece of it. But when Colin falls for an innocent country girl, it's not long before the self assured Tolen moves in for the kill. Is all fair in love and war or can Colin get the knack and beat Tolen at his own game?
