Carlton-Browne of the F.O. (1959), starring Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers, is a sharp British political satire about an incompetent Foreign Office diplomat sent to manage a crisis in a fictional island nation. Blending Cold War paranoia with absurd colonial bureaucracy, it delivers classic dry British humor and early political comedy.
