Film Synopsis
Carlton-Browne of the F.O. (1959) follows a bumbling Foreign Office official sent to the remote, long-forgotten island of Gaillardia to reestablish diplomatic ties after its newfound mineral wealth attracts global interest. As Carlton-Browne blunders through negotiations, royal intrigue, and Cold War posturing, his missteps spark revolution, romance, and competing bids for influence that outstrip his feeble grasp of foreign affairs. This comedy blends satirical diplomacy and farcical international politics in a witty satire of colonial decline.
