The Night We Dropped a ClangerRating: 3.1/5 (with 22 votes)
The Night We Dropped a Clanger (released in the US as Make Mine a Double), is a 1959 black and white British comedy film directed by Darcy Conyers and starring Brian Rix, Cecil Parker, William Hartnell and Leslie Phillips. The title comes from the British expression "to drop a clanger", meaning to say something inappropriate or revealing. It links in the title to the secondary meaning of "clang", the noise of a metallic object hitting the floor. A British secret agent is sent on a secret operation in occupied France during the Second World War but a diversionary tactic turns into a farcical tale of mistaken identity. Andrew Sachs made his film debut in a minor role. ()
