I’m thinking Peter Sellers, Heavens Above (with Eric Sykes) or the one about the fleapit cinema, The Greatest Little Show or something like that. Not sure if they are Ealing ones tho...

the only guy I know and loved in the old films was terry Thomas, played hilarious cad/bounders, just cracked me up, got a book on his life and he died sadly destitute and forgotten about, very sad indeed

The only one I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is Barnacle Bill.
Can't remember any swearing in that though.

Terry Thomas, a bit like Tommy Cooper, could make you laugh without actually saying something.

I've a mate who we call Terry, after Terry Thomas, as his mannerisms are exactly the same.
