Man In The Moon

Basil Dearden directs this sci-fi spoof starring Kenneth More as William Blood, a human guinea pig at a research centre set up to find a cure for the common cold. His incredible levels of immunity bring him to the attention of a team of space scientists, who decide he is the perfect candidate to become the first British astronaut to land on the moon. Cheerfully unaware of his destiny, William becomes the unwitting target of envious rival astronauts including the snooty Leo (Charles Gray).
