Outstanding English comedy.

I saw this delightful movie in the late 60's. I do wish that the film industry in other countries, including the United States, could follow the English guidelines in creating a truly funny film. One of the many things that made this movie so funny and outstanding was the lack of four letter words and bedroom scenes. The producer and director of "Women Who Do" proved that four char ladies and their co-hart who play the stock market can create a delightful plot. Even though it has been so many years ago, when they took over the board room I had tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard. What do fans of English comedy,like this, do to get to see more movies like this? Or, what do we do to get to see this movie again? I truly loved every minute of this movie. Bettye Coleman
