The Sandwich Man

Michael Bentine stars as Horace Quilby, the immaculately tailored sandwich board man for Finklebaum & O'Casey, purveyors of fine gents' overcoats. Every morning, he leaves his modest little home in Docklands and walks the streets of Swinging London, enjoying the sights and sounds - and the city's madcap inhabitants. From Billingsgate to St Paul's, from saucy Soho to the London Hilton, and from the Royal Parks to the Thames Embankment he routinely encounters all kinds of mayhem - from over-encumbered Sikh jazz combos to runaway ground rollers and from confused escapologists to fashion photographers and their models. Everyone knows Horace - and Horace knows everyone. The Sandwich Man Brotherhood has a golden rule: 'See everything but never get involved'. It's a rule Horace is happy to live by - until he decides to give a young couple a helping hand in falling in love. (Video Collection Int.)
