Carlton-Browne of the F.O. (U.S. title: Man in a Cocked Hat) is a 1959 British comedy film directed by Roy Boulting and Jeffrey Dell and starring Terry-Thomas, Peter Sellers, and Luciana Paluzzi.[2] It was written by Boulting and Dell and produced by John Boulting.
The film centres on an inept Foreign Office (F.O.) diplomat who is sent to re-establish good relations with the island of Gaillardia, an obscure former British colony that attracts the attention of both the UK and the USSR for its mineral deposits.
