Nothing But the Best

Black humour and biting social satire combine in this acclaimed comedy of 1964, starring Alan Bates as an ambitious young real-estate clerk who is determined to crawl his way to the top of the social pile; Denholm Elliott is the disreputable aristocrat who teaches him all he needs to know, Millicent Martin the girl he sets out to woo and win. Nothing but the Best is scripted by Academy Award winner Frederic Raphael with Nic Roeg earning a BAFTA-Award nomination for cinematography. Jimmy Brewster is a working-class lad using his dynamism and abundant charm to overcome any obstacles to the champagne lifestyle he craves. He has his sights firmly set on his boss's daughter, Ann, and finds a perfect mentor in the form of the caddish, crook Charlie. But just how far is Brewster prepared to go to get what he wants?
