Directed by Roy Boulting and Jeffery Dell and starring Peter Sellers and Terry Thomas, CARLTON-BROWNE OF THE F.O. follows the story of a long-forgotten British colony suddenly becoming geopolitically hot property due to its rare mineral deposits, with the Foreign Office scrambling to reassert influence. Enter Carlton-Browne (a charmingly clueless diplomat whose only qualification is his father’s legacy and a knack for accidental diplomacy). Dispatched to the island of Gaillardia, Carlton must navigate a tangled web of Cold War tensions, royal intrigue, and Morris dancing mishaps. As rival factions vie for control and foreign powers circle like vultures, Carlton stumbles through espionage, romance, and revolution – proving that sometimes, the most unlikely man can make the biggest mess… and still come out ahead.
