Very Important Person (film)
Very Important Person (retitled A Coming Out Party in the United States) is a 1961 British comedy film, directed by Ken Annakin and written by Jack Davies and Henry Blyth.
The film contains performances from several well-known British comedy and character actors, including James Robertson Justice, Stanley Baxter as both a dour Scottish prisoner and the camp Kommandant, Eric Sykes as a sports fanatic, John Le Mesurier as the Escape officer, Leslie Phillips and Richard Wattis as the emotional Entertainments officer, desperately trying to coax quality performances out of would-be entertainers.

Famous quotes containing the words important and/or person:
“What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to,—for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well,—is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
