Churchill: The Hollywood Years

A group of American executives making a film about World War II decide that since their lead is rather unglamorous, they will draft in an American G.I. to play the part of Winston Churchill. Their take on the war depicts a handsome Churchill falling in love with Princess Elizabeth, who is herself involved in the war as an undercover agent.

Four Men in a Plane

Salesmen Alan, Ian, Tim, and the pushy Tony are on a plane on their way to a sales conference. Alan joins the mile-high club with a model in the toilet but Tim is annoyed that he is two air miles short of joining the others in club class. On arrival in North Africa, they decide to charter a plane rather than face a fifteen-hour coach journey to the conference.

Four Men in a Car

Four salesmen Alan, Ian, Steve and Tim are on their way to a conference where only one of them is guaranteed promotion. There is much bickering, Steve is perpetually sick and gets put in the boot, the C.D. player jams and they have a run-in with a Range Rover driver. When the car breaks down in a snowstorm they wind up in a deserted cottage with a shotgun-wielding, diabetic woman.
