I'M ALL RIGHT JACK


'''I'm All Right Jack''' is a British comedy film directed and produced by John and Roy Boulting.
Released in 1959, it is a satire on British industrial life in the 1950s in which the trade unions, workers and bosses are all seen to be incompetent or corrupt to varying degrees. The film is one of a number of satires made by the Boulting Brothers between 1956 and 1963, and is a sequel to their 1956 film ''Private's Progress''. Ian Carmichael, Dennis Price, Richard Attenborough, Terry-Thomas and Miles Malleson all return as the same characters from the earlier film. Peter Sellers also played one of his best-known roles, as the trade union shop steward Fred Kite, and won a Best Actor Award from the British Academy.
The rest of the cast included many well-known English comedy actors of the time.
Curiously, some trade unionists have rather enjoyed it in an ironic way, since the shop steward Fred Kite is the most interesting character, and it was one of the few films of that time to deal even halfway seriously with trade unionism and factory life.
