Dead of Night -- Exploring themes sparked in MANHUNTER, the 1986 Michael Mann film

Shy loser Henry Palfrey (Ian Carmichael) is in love with April Smith (Janette Scott), but she's dating the suave Raymond Delauney (Terry-Thomas), so he enrolls in unconventional education classes to up his game. At the secret "College of Lifesmanship," Henry's confidence soars after taking courses such as "Woomanship" and "One-upmanship." Hilarious performances highlight this brisk and biting British farce.

This lighthearted comedy shows us how Henry Palfrey changes from a young man with a giant inferiority complex into a confident, assured man-of-the-world after a course at the College of Lifemanship on 'how to win without actually cheating'. Sweet is the moment when he takes his revenge on all who cheated and duped him and steals the beautiful April from the arms of his cocksure rival.

But John hatches his own scheme to land his lonesome pop a woman -- and soon the two become entangled with cute shopgirls, blue-blooded dames and one madcap misunderstanding after another.
