There Was a Crooked Man (1960)

There Was a Crooked Man is a 1960 British comedy film directed by Stuart Burge. It starred Norman Wisdom, Alfred Marks, Andrew Cruickshank, Reginald Beckwith, and Susannah York. This is the only Norman Wisdom film that has not had a television viewing or released on video/DVD. However, according to this page, https://sites.google.com/site/ukchristmastv/itv1965, it was shown in the then ATV region on Christmas Sunday in 1965. It was briefly shown in UK cinemas on general release in 1960 before being withdrawn by US interference in UK culture and was unceremoniously “wiped.” The “offending” film, featured Wisdom masquerading as an arrogant US general requisitioning British land for the US Air Force. The subject of US forces on British soil was deemed too sensitive even for comic treatment.
