 Roy Boulting at Hollywood.com
Director-producer-screenwriter Roy Boulting may be best known to Americans through the gossip columns thanks to his May-December marriage to actress Hayley Mills, but in the film world he is heralded, along with his identical twin brother John, as a major force in the post-war British film industry.
Roy Boulting made his directorial debut with "Consider Your Verdict" (1938), which set the standard for the indistinguishable style of the brothers--economical, well-plotted, strong on local atmosphere and well acted.
The Boulting brothers were less successful when they attempted comedy; their films tended to seem contrived and featured overacting, although Roy directed the amiable "Brothers-in-Law" (1956), about the misadventures of a young lawyer.

 Roy Boulting and John
The Boultings' auteurial films (interspersed by potboilers, usually comic) outline a "pilgrim's progress," or regress, from a moral earnestness and puritan conscience to a sort of hilarious gloom about the State of England.
The Boultings' next phase reflects the hopes, strains, and glooms of Austerity and the "Welfare Revolution." Fame Is the Spur, an adaptation of Howard Spring's best-seller, was inspired by Ramsay MacDonald's evolution from Socialist firebrand to the Labour Party's "Colonel Blimp." The Guinea Pig depicted a working-class scholarship boy's tribulations in an upper-crust school.
Such emphasis on "moral intuition" is central to the British character, and the Boultings' steady popularity evinces a profound, not a glib, affinity with audiences.

 HEAVENS ABOVE! : Encyclopedia Entry
The strong cast includes Cecil Parker as Seller's Archdeacon, William Hartnell as a town councillor, Roy Kinnear, Irene Handl, Eric Sykes and Joan Hickson.
Sellers' performance is generally held to be outstanding, in a meatier, more dramatic role than most he had previously taken on, but many find the ending a little ill-fitting and silly.
The film is also notable for its use of profanity, very daring for 1963; Sykes' character at one stage utters the line, "What if it pisses it with rain?".

We are so used to thinking of the 1950s as a period of decline for the British cinema — Ealing closed, Powell and Pressburger went off the rails, the first Carry On film was made — that we have forgotten just what gems lurk in the vaults from that era.
Two of them, directed and produced by the twin brothers John and Roy Boulting, have recently made it on to DVD: Private’s Progress (1956) and I’m All Right Jack (1959).
The Boultings had a mixed track record by this stage, some mediocre efforts coming among some memorable and enduring work like The Guinea Pig (1948) and Lucky Jim (1957).

Carlton-Browne of the F.O. is a little less tart and smart in its assault on British diplomacy than the earlier satires by John and Roy Boulting.
The much-loved Terry-Thomas plays the idiot son of a great ambassador, given a sinecure in the Foreign Office that becomes a hot seat when crises rock the almost-forgotten former colony of Gaillardia.
There's a touch of royal romance as the King gets together with a rival princess (the winning Luciana Paoluzzi), but it's mostly mild laughs at the expense of British ineptitude, with Thorley Walters as the dim army officer, Miles Malleson as the gouty consul, and a snarling Raymond Huntley as the minister.
