"aka The Rebel in the UK. Anthony Hancock gives up his office job to become an abstract artist in Paris. He has a lot of enthusiasm, but little talent, and critics scorn his work. Nevertheless, he impresses an emerging very talented artist. Hancock proceeds to con the art world into thinking he is a genius. This is a fabulous comedy for its great one-liners, its wit, its bright colours and the sheer joy of its performances by the cast. The script is brilliant for its poignant wish to break away "
