Raising the Wind
This comedic caper is directed by Gerald Thomas, who is most known for his work on the film "Carry On." James Robertson Justice, Sid James, Leslie Phillips, Kenneth Williams, Liz Fraser, and Eric Barker all make early appearances in the film. The comedy at the center of this movie is around a group of music students who decide to pool their resources and move into a shared apartment so that they may save money and have a place to practice their instruments. Things take a turn for the worst when Mervyn Hughes (Phillips), who is a composer, inadvertently sells one of his compositions to an advertising agency and puts his scholarship at risk. Is it possible for him and his friends to come up with a means to make enough money to purchase back the music rights?
