Cold Comfort

Most people want to get rid of a cold, a congested nose or a cough as soon as possible. Well, Hector Dimwittie is not one of them. Quite the contrary - not only does he provide instructions on how to catch a cold, but also how to keep it. A black and white comedy with the legendary Peter Sellers proves that he truly is one of the greatest comedians of all time. This satire of post-war British society has very rarely been seen. The Prague Short Films Festival is proud to screen this digitally remastered version.
