> The Smallest Show on Earth is a gentle, frequently uproarious takeoff
> of Britain's neighborhood-cinema industry. Real-life husband and wife
> Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna star as Matt and Jean Spencer, a
> middle-class couple who inherit a decrepit movie house in a tiny
> railroad whistle stop. They also inherit the theater's ancient,
> doddering employees: bibulous ticket-taker Percy Quill (Peter Sellers),
> former silent-movie accompanist Mrs. Fazackalee (Margaret Rutherford)
> and doorman/janitor old Tom (Bernard Miles). Making the best of things,
> the Spencers set up shop going through the usual travails of small-time
> cinema owners: substandard projection and sound reproduction, a dismal
> selection of films (all they can afford is American B-Westerns), and
> sundry mishaps with the audience. Just when they're about to write off
> the theater as a loss, crafty old Tom comes up with an underhanded but
> effective method to allow the Spencers to make a huge profit on their
> shaky enterprise.
