Any other English comedies like this one?

How about 'The Wrong Arm of the Law'
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056704/

Sid James and Dick Emery in The Big Job

School for Scounderals

George Cole again and the wonderful AListair Sim in the Green Man

Farrington Browne of the FO

"The Lavender Hill Mob", and many other Ealing Studios works.
cf. http://www.imdb.com/company/co0098353/ ; especially productions released between 1946-1959.

"Make Mine Mink"...another delightful "caper" film with Terry-Thomas

hey dim,
if you're still around, check out "I'm All Right, Jack" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052911/.

Far more subtle than most of the other films mentioned here (including the Ealing stuff),
but spot on for the best in beguilingly subversive English comedy.

Two Way Stretch

New DVD featuring this film and "Make Mine Mink" being released by VCI on April 5th, 2011, titled "Terry Thomas Comedy Double Feature". Evidently someone else thought they go well together. You can view artwork at classicflix.com
