Yup! Seems to have been my day for blowing my references. Don't know what I
was thinking of. Typing instead of thinking I guess. Memory says he was
driving some very strange little English bubble car to the factory.
Three wheeler? Very odd looking thing with a sort of hatch on the front I
think. What was that car?

Great movie. The star of the film was not Sellers, but one of my
favorite
actors, Ian Carmichael, who later played Lord Peter Wimsey, seen in the
USA
on Masterpiece Theater's presentations of the Dorothy Sayers stories.
I'm all right Jack was a sequel to Private's Progress wherein Carmichael
as
Stanley Windrush was in the army. Terry-Thomas' character was one of
those
who carried over from the first film.
