His and Hers (1961)

His and Hers: Directed by Brian Desmond Hurst. With Terry-Thomas, Janette Scott, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Nicole Maurey. Returned from North Africa, a British novelist is at odds with his wife when she insists on dividing the house and the domestic chores and he goes mad when she starts writing his biography and flirting with his publisher.

“Terry-Thomas plays a writer whose editor sends him off on adventures to inspire his books. An effort about his experience of being lost in the desert and adopted by a Bedouin tribe is rejected, however, but not before heu0026#39;s adopted the lifestyle – and the dress – of the tribe; much to the distaste of his wife (Janette Scott). The couple end up splitting their home and their responsibilities in halves which leads to comic situations that, despite an excellent supporting cast that includes several u0026#39;Carry Onu0026#39; regulars, never quite manages to achieve the levels one might hope for. Not at all bad, but leaves a distinct feeling that it should have been better.”
