Rating: - Old classic still worth your time
Based on the novel by Poyntz Tyler originally titled "A Garden of Cucumbers," this is a delightful and lighthearted caper film from the 60s.

However, Fitzwilly and the rest of the staff are dedicated to making sure she does not find out and towards that end they come up with creative (okay, criminal) ways of making money. Now, servants taking care of their ... Read More
